From The President – July 2016

Hi Everyone,

I’m really pleased to announce that we’ve now launched our new, improved contemporary website at www.limelighttheatre.com.au. Please have a look at it and let us know what you think!! I think it’s bright, fun and will provide a fresh new online presence for our theatre. I’d like to thank all those involved in putting it together, particularly Adrian Price who did all the ‘techo’ stuff together with Nigel Rarp who provided lots of help and support. If you want to place anything on social media, whether it be on the website or Facebook, please contact anyone on the committee who can arrange to have the information published.

Nigel’s also been working hard with a company called Patronbase and also the Commonwealth Bank to get our new, improved online booking system in place. This should be available in the next few days so keep a lookout on the website.

Another great piece of news we’ve received in June is that we’ve been awarded a grant of $27,000 by Lotterywest to upgrade our sound system. In my opinion, sound has always been our Achilles heel and so it’ll be great to be involved in a production and not be continually worried that the sound system will let us down. I’d really like to give thanks to Patrick and Shelley McGinn for all their hard work in putting the submission to Lotterywest together.

Moving forward now, and I know that Sue Vincent and her cast and crew are already working hard to bring us our next production, Run for Your Wife, which I’m sure will be very popular. Please book your seats early!!!

 

All for now

Mike Gibbs
