2 President s Spot Hi Everyone Another busy month has passed as we gear up for the opening of A Fairy Tale of Sorts. I have been busy enjoying creating the wardrobe for this locally written play and have been delighted and amused by the delightful array of crazy characters drawn from both medieval time and Disney characters! It has a pantomime, Monty Python, Benny Hill feel to it in equal parts and cannot fail to entertain. If you haven t already booked your tickets, do it now! We have had a couple of months of upheaval, dust and delays, but our wardrobe extension is now complete! Thanks to the dedicated members who turned up to the recent Busy Bee. Wally Fry, Malcolm Hiscock, Max Walker, John Grimshaw, Doryan Kurtovic, Joyce Gilbert, Patrick McGinn and me! Few though we were, we were able to almost complete the transfer of costumes to their new home. It will be a while before Joyce and Kerry can re-sort and discover all that the wardrobe holds, but I m sure they ll make some interesting discoveries along the way as they unearth long forgotten items! After much consideration, meetings and s we are delighted to announce that our final season for the year will be The Envelope Please created and to be directed by Gillian Binks and Jane Anderson. As the title suggests it is about academy awards but this time the music and songs. Playing dates have also been changed so check your calendars closer to production time. See you at the theatre Shelley

3 Notice Board Maintenance Manager, Patrick, will be investigating the costs involved in upgrading/updating the audience toilets. Due to a lack of volunteers these toilets were not repainted at the Busy Bee

4 Call for submissions for 2019 productions to be called for and a reading committee created. Daniel Toomath has taken on the role of Sound Manager and is already sorting and organising our equipment in a most professional manner. Several requests for the hire/use of the theatre were discussed along with reasonable charges to be made to cover our costs.

5 SUBMISSIONS TO DIRECT A PRODUCTION IN 2019 It s time again to be thinking about our seasons for next year 2019, and we encourage all new, experienced and enthusiastic directors to submit plays and musicals they would like to have produced on the Limelight Stage. If you are interested in submitting, please supply 2 scripts, plus CD s if submitting a musical, so that the selection process can get started as soon as possible. Your scripts will be read by our 5 readers who will then meet to discuss a balanced program of plays and musicals for the coming year. When submitting your scripts, please include a completed submission form which can be found on the Limelight website. If you are submitting for the first time, it would be helpful for you to include a theatre CV of your experience. You can drop off your submission at the theatre either on a Tuesday morning or on one of the production nights. To arrange an alternative, please contact Mike Gibbs on accounts@limelighttheatre.com.au for additional information.
