Poor Little Me

'oo? 'er! Oh!

'er is "Only An Orphan Girl" who comes to the Unity Theatre on October 16 for four nights. So get organised with your bookings for this fabulous melodrama in the old tradition. Can't remember a melodrama being staged in Gisborne before but we guess there must have been in grand-pappy's day.

The laughs and entertainment from this presentation will be worth going a long way to see. Produced by Mary Woosey in the absence of Ray Skyrme, the production has a cast of eight.
