In Hva nå da!?!* (Now what!?!) by Ingrid Anne Yttri, Mai Lise Rasmussen and Therese Hugøy two girls are the best friends in the world until a third girl shows up. Now what!?! Shall they let her in with them? Shall they freeze her out? Is she perhaps trying to be friends with just one of them? And what happens when THE BOY enters the picture? Options are many. The children in the audience are who decide what will happen.

Hva nå da!?!* (Now what?) kept the pace high, with humour and surprising turns of events. The children in the audience voted for alternatives to be performed by the actors onstage: Should the two girlfriends be nice or naughty towards the new girl and so on. The alternative with the most votes were acted out and the children got to see the consequences their choice had on the further action.

Hva nå da!?! was supported by Arts Council Norway, The Audio Visual Fund and The Fund for Performing Artists.
