A sad day for theatre in Australia
Thu, 17 Aug 2006, 01:15 pmI am saddened to have to report that this morning Dr. Geoffrey Gibbs passed away at home in WA. He was surrounded by his
family and it was a very peaceful and serene end to an adventurous and well lived life.
Geoffrey will be sadly missed by all the theatre community.

The passing of a great man
A sad day indeed. Many may have never heard of him, especially those residing over east. Allow me to point you towards something to help describe this man and his influence.

A great friend
For many years I sat opposite this amazing man on the Lotterywest Arts Advisory Board. His depth of knowledge of the industry was a major contribution to this committee. I will miss his wonderful sense of humour, his numerous emails and unsigned postcards from around the world. So many have been influenced by his passion for the arts.
Condolences to Carol and his beloved family.

Geoff Gibbs
It was my priviledge to work with Geoff on several shows. His sense of fun is something I shall long remember and his ability to squeeze every last laugh out of every given bit of script! His energy and drive made the Academy of Performing Arts a reality. An inspired teacher, director, actor, colleague and family man. My condolences to Carol and family
