Sadly another stalwart of Perth's community theatre has left us for a better role.

Joe McCabe passed away suddenly from an aneurism Tuesday morning 10/07/2012.

Joe was a prolific poster to this site and truly one of the greatest sources of knowledge regarding anything to do with theatre. One of true gentlemen of community theatre, he has been a guide and mentor for many and with long time friend Hywell Williams, founded Phoenix Theatre in Hamilton Hill.

It was said in song "If there's a rock & roll heaven - you know they have a hell of a band..." The same must surely be true of a Community Theatre Heaven, ....Take a bow my friend, the curtain has been called.

Joe is survived by his son Sean and his life-partner Joyce and I am sure that the theatre community of Perth will join me in sending them our sincerest condolences.

So long, Joe. Deepest condolences to family and friends. I have fond memories of Joe from a couple of shows at Old Mill, and I truly enjoyed absorbing all he had to teach about stagecraft and theatrical lore. Trevor Preston
