It’s Polyfest season in Aotearoa and all the schools are working hard to prepare! Since we can’t be there, we’re turning Culture Class into Movie Night! Let’s get together for a good laugh and a peek into some behind the scenes drama at the “Olympics of Polynesian dance”, Polyfest!

A original film, FIRST PLACE is a wild ride through heartbreak, hustle, and hallways - a love letter to siva Samoa, school pride, and all the chaos of teenage life.

FREE POPCORN! 🍿Additional concessions 🍫🍬 available at the “Tasi Lua Tolu Tala Stand”, where proceeds will go to our youth programming!

Last note: there is plenty of seating but keep in mind they are padded metal folding chairs. Run time is 1:15. If your muli has special needs 🍑💥, feel free to byo chair!
