Oamaru Performing Arts Society

A full weekend of young talent from all over the South Island takes over the Oamaru Opera House as the Oamaru Performing Arts Society brings together performance, creativity, and community in one lively programme. With Highland dancing, tap, ballet, singing, speech, hip hop, modern, instrumental, and musical theatre all part of the line-up, this is the kind of event that gives the stage to emerging performers and lets the wider community show up for them.

It’s varied, energetic, and easy to dip into, whether you’re there to support someone you know or simply enjoy a weekend of local entertainment. Free to attend and broad in its appeal, it’s a lovely reminder of just how much young talent is growing through North Otago.
