The Menagerie, Wellington's long running monthly variety show has made some changes for 2016. Director Rachel Rouge has brought in a young local circus performer Harlow Lestrange to produce five shows this year.

Lestrange will be producing five of this year's eleven shows starting with Saturday the 27th of February. Harlow is in complete control of booking the shows on every even-numbered month, "I'll be producing the odd numbered months." says Rouge. "We are really excited to have Harlow on board, she's got experience as a producer from producing her own shows like the drawing event Dr Sketchy Wellington and burlesque revue Nerdlesque. She is also a talented circus performer, she understands how to put a show together that will showcase the best of each act."

Lestrange is a hula hoopist and fire performer currently studying a diploma in Circus Arts and Dance atWhitireia. The Menagerie stage will benefit from Lestrange's fresh perspective, youthful vitality and new insights. She has put together a brilliant line up for the show on Saturday February 27th.'
