2022 AGM

At the 2022 AGM the committee reported on the happenings of the past two years during which they met 29 times. Sadly Covid restricted our programmes but we were able produce two plays, The Peach Season by Debra Oswald, a delightful play set in an Australian orchard and More Than a Little Black Dress by Jo Denver based on the life of Coco Chanel. Audiences were delighted with both of these Australian plays. We have been lucky to have a hard-working committee, actors, production teams and technical directors. Special thanks to our retiring Treasurer, Philia Portelli who did a magnificent job keeping us afloat.

We acquired, after months of searching, a garage to store our valuables. We have introduced a new method of choosing our plays by advertising for a Director with a play that he or she would like to direct. Happily we have found the highly experienced Gabiann Marin for our September 2023 production season. The play will be announced soon on our home page. Gaby had directed, acted, written plays, run workshops, and been a stage manager and a mechanist in Canberra and Sydney. She did her training at the Ensemble, the Stables and the Actors Studio. We are delighted to welcome her aboard.

We have also established a grievance committee and a code of conduct. Copies can be obtained from the Secretary, Bronwen Stinson on 0418 693 786.

Over the seven years we have existed we have brought 17 plays to fruition, 5 full length and 12 short plays.

On 21 February we will have a General meeting to elect a treasurer, a president and several directors of our different areas of operation.
