President’s Spot

Hi Everyone,

I am delighted to now be the President of Wanneroo Repertory at the Limelight Theatre and I thank not only those who voted me into this position, but to all of you who came along to the Annual General Meeting – we have never had so many members interested in an AGM! We also have several new members on the committee who will, I am sure, inject some new blood and new ideas into the running of the theatre. We are all still working out exactly what our roles are and will be, and with the constitution about to change, we will need to be flexible in our approach to the management of the Group.

This is the first year that we are trialling a different performance schedule with 8 performances over 2 weeks instead of our previous 9 performances over 3 weeks. You will have noticed that we have now included a Sunday matinee performance which, for the additional cost of $5, will provide you with afternoon tea after the curtain comes down! The reason for this change was to open up the calendar to allow other events and performances both in the theatre and in the foyer. We have already had a performance by students from Wanneroo Secondary College, we had the Folkin’ Bogans last month and we will have a “Songs from the Shows” karaoke in July plus a northern suburbs children’s choir will perform later in the year. We wanted to invite the community into our theatre and realised that the theatre foyer was being under-utilised, and we are looking for other events, acts or performers, particularly on Saturday nights when the theatre is not in use. 

So, if you have any ideas about how our theatre should be run, what you would like to see on the stage or in the foyer, please contact me or any of the committee who will be happy to listen to your ideas for the future of the Limelight Theatre. 

Hope to see you at “It Runs in the Family” – I’ve seen it in rehearsals and it is hilarious!

All the best

Shelley McGinn
