What’s On? Hockey & Theatre

Good morning, you SunLive readers looking for things to do.

Sunday is always the neglected half of the weekend – everything seems to happen on a Saturday.

However, there's a couple of events happening today, with something to satisfy both the sporty types and the arty types.

Weather-wise, MetService has Tauranga down for fine spells with a chance of showers (let's hope that's a snowball's chance). The high is forecast to be 26 degrees, with another restless sleep coming at 20 degrees overnight.

This afternoon the final games of the Tauranga leg of the University of Waikato Four Nations hockey tournament will take place at Blake Park. After a 3-1 defeat to India earlier on, the New Zealand Black Sticks will have to settle for a third place playoff against Japan at 12pm, before India and Belgium face off in the final at 2pm.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for pensioners/students, and $5 for children. If you can't make it along, both tests will be streamed live and then available on demand through the Black Sticks Facebook page.

This evening Summer Shakespeare Tauranga's season of The Taming of the Shrew also continues at the Historic Village. The play promises plenty of laughs as the bombastic Petruchio attempts to ‘tame' and marry the shrewish Katherine, thus freeing her younger sister Bianca to marry her pick of many suitors.

The outdoor show plays under the stars from 7.30pm. Tickets are $25 for adults, available here.

As the event is weather-dependent, it might pay to keep an eye on the Summer Shakespeare Facebook page for any cancellations due to rain.

Elsewhere, The Wizard of Oz continues this week at Tauranga Musical Theatre, although today's matinee is sold out. The final show of 16th Ave Theatre's Jack and the Beanstalk is also sold out this afternoon – you've got to be in quick to catch Tauranga's many quality productions.
