This year’s theatre restaurant Ladies For Hire is written by Shortland St star Alison Quigan. It debuted last year in Palmerston North to sell out audiences.  The play follows the lives of five women who all sing in the local church choir. Having sung at christenings, weddings, funerals, they've seen them all come and go - the good, the bad and the downright ugly! But then a new priest is introduced to the parish and after discovering their naughty shenanigans, he kicks them out!

What happens next involves some misunderstanding about what Ladies for Hire really means, and a succession of rather unconventional gigs for the ladies. The cast consists of five women and four men.
