Harbour Theatre's Gala Opening

Last night Harbour Theatre held a 'Gala Opening" at their new premises, in Port Cineaste in Fremantle.

Members and friends gathered to proclaim that in spite of all their recent difficulties Harbour Theatre is alive and well! We were given a preview of what is to come in their opening season and enjoyed good food and wine. It was a little disappointing to the indefatigable committee that very few of the local theatre Presidents were able to be present to celebrate " triumph over adversity". (Likewise no- one from Fremantle City Council saw fit to attend)

Please come and support Harbour at the first season, opening tomorrow.

They have, in a few short weeks transformed a dusty space into an intimate theatre, the effort has been tremendous, I was  at their AGM early last month and could hardly believe the transformation- all achieved by members without outside assistance!

Opens March 5th-Deckchairs by Jean Mcconnell. Director Peter Kirkwood

Featuring: Nicola Bond, Sue Lynch, Joan Scafe, Ann Speicher

Note: I am a member of Harbour Theatre.

Wednesday night is

Wednesday night is committee and council meeting night for Fremantle council so it's hardly surprising they weren't available.

Were the local papers

Were the local papers invited? And if they weren't, how many others that perhaps should have been invited weren't?

Allachieved by members.....

Sorry David, I didn't deliberately leave you out!

I am aware that you have done a great deal  of work in getting the lighting up and working in time for the show- I  was actually referring to the volunteer members of the theatre, probably rather badly worded!
