A night out enjoying the Vicar of Dibley's parishioners' antics while helping raise funds for the Graeme Dingle Foundation is being served up by Te Puke Repertory's cast and crew this week.

'The theatre always does a charity night during a show,” says the theatre's front of house manager Juliette Brawn.

'Proceeds from ticket sales on Wednesday, November 30, will go to the Graeme Dingle Foundation.”

Juliette and husband Jack Brawn, who is playing Hugo in the play, have been mentors for the youth charity.

The Vicar of Dibley play – based on the hilarious TV series – opens in Te Puke at Litt Park Theatre with a gala night on November 29 and runs to December 10. The story follows the lives of the somewhat eccentric parishioners of the country village of Dibley and their vicar the Rev Geraldine Granger.

Director Michelle Cliff has gathered an eclectic group of actors.

'It is a wonderful working with a cast that are really embracing the quirky nature of folk of Dibley. 'We are taking the much-loved characters and making them our own.”
