VALE- Su Lumer

It is with sad regret that the President and Board inform you that Su Lumer, loved wife of Rod passed away peacefully at 5pm on Thursday May 8 at home. Rod and their children Richard and Fiona, were with Su when she began her spirit walk.

Rod has been a terrific supporter of Brisbane Arts Theatre for many years and server for some time as the theatre's Administrative Director.

Please take a moment to send Rod and his family warm thoughts and remember a wonderful, warm and fun-loving lady whose laughter raised many flagging spirits, and whose strudels raised lots of funds for our theatre in the 70's.

There was a private service for Su but later in the year the Lumer Family will hold a 'Celebration' of Su's life -we will keep you posted on that date.

Best Wishes, Wensley Goebel

The President, Executive, Board and Members wish Wensley Goebel (a past President) a speedy recovery from her recent illness. Wensley suffered a minor stroke, but reports say that she is on the way to making a wonderful come-back.

Nomination time again

Nominations are now being called for the positions of Administrative Director and Artistic Director for a period of one year. Should no applications be received by the June meeting of the Board the current position holders will continue.

Notice to members

In accordance with CPI increases the Board regrets that this is a need to increase membership costs. Further notice of this will be forthcoming, and know that everything possible will be done to keep these increases to a minimum.

Beat the price rise! Membership fees will increase as of June 1st this year. If you haven't paid for your membership renewal or it is approaching soon, then get in quick and save a few precious dollars.

Expressions of Interest - Drama Festival

Are there any budding directors out there who would like to direct a play for the Brisbane Arts Theatre to travel the Drama Festival Circuit?

If so, please submit a copy of the play you would like to work on, the ideal set and any special needs the play will require. Remember, simple is good and able to travel in a car or two is better.

Submit your entries to the Office addressed to Lynne Wright. The Festival circuit will start in July so you will need to be ready to roll with auditions.
