Introducing our amazing director, dramaturg and maestro for WONDER - Pedro Ilgenfritz. WONDER is coming to Isaac Theatre Royal 23-25 June.

Who is behind the show?… 🎭

✨ Meet the creators of Wonder: Dr Pedro Ilgenfritz ✨

Pedro is the visionary and eagle-eyed director and dramaturg of Wonder. Under his tireless leadership, the production has blossomed into a captivating piece of theatre, which premieres to a sold-out audience this Tuesday at the Isaac Theatre Royal!

There are only two more chances to experience Wonder this winter season:
📅 Wednesday 24 June, 7.30pm
📅 Thursday 25 June, 1.00pm

Originally from Brazil, Pedro is a theatre practitioner, educator, and scholar with extensive experience across creative, educational, and research settings. He moved to Aotearoa New Zealand in 2000 and spent 18 years as a senior lecturer in Unitec’s Performing and Screen Arts Department before becoming Artistic Director of Hagley Theatre School in 2024.

Pedro holds a Bachelor of Theatre from UDESC (Brazil), a Master of Theatre Direction from Toi Whakaari and Victoria University of Wellington, and a PhD from the University of Auckland, where his research focused on Jacques Lecoq’s theatre pedagogy in Aotearoa New Zealand.
