Iris Walshe-Howling and Janine McKenzie took their Anglesea Performing Arts ensemble to Geelong Courthouse Theatre for their third season of my play 'The Hope Song' on 12 and 13 October and again impressed new audiences. Musician Tim Hulsman added his soulful, exhilarating voice and slide guitar to the show and gave it another new dynamic.
I am so proud of them all, and sincere thanks to Jacqui Pierce and Deb Haygarth from Women With Disabilities Victoria - Barwon Hub for partnering with APA for this memorable season. It was great to have Jack Heath CEO SANE Australia at opening night with his continued support.
The wonderful APA team:
Director Iris Walshe Howling, Jacqui Pierce and Janet
Warm and fuzzy! Actor Nikki Watson, Jack Heath CEO SANE Australia and Iris Walshe Howling
