Mbcta - 30 Years

25 years ago!!
What wonderful students we had who helped and went over and above to help reestablish the theatre.
Thank you again.

Hi all. Just to let you know that Barry Sorrell is turning a very young 80 this week. Would love you to write him a message, especially as so many of you were involved in his plays. Thanks, Merilyn

Hey Guys we have to cancel our next catch up session this SUNDAY the 25th - such a busy time of year, sorry to those of you who RSVP'd Perhaps in the NEW YEAR we can have another go at getting together.

LOOKS LIKE SOME OF YOU DIDNT GET ENOUGH!
For anyone who didn't make the 30 Year reunion/Gala or would like to catch up for more chats and coffee, can include or not include partners/ kids etc - SUNDAY ARVO - NOV 25TH - 3PM onwards - very casual - but would like to know if you are coming . . . . . [email protected]
WE'D LOVE THE CHANCE TO CATCH UP - as night went so fast.

And now, you should start your journey,
Remember the things we have told you
and remember that there will be other things
to tempt you or to frighten you...
but believe in what you are doing
and always trust your judgment to do right.
Believe and trust.
We will be thinking of you...
Believe and trust...
Believe and trust.
- Are There

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who can not seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long,
and you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.

To the beautiful Cast and Crew of the 30 Year Reunion,
Thank you so much for all your hard work the last few weeks/months.
For 'us oldies' (as Mez affectionally calls us) it is hard to explain what MBCTA, Mex, Bill, and this reunion means to us. Without your passionate enthusiasm and tireless energy, this weekend would not have been so successful. We hope you had as much fun as us, and wish you the best of luck for all your future endeavours. Welcome to the history of MBCTA!
Love Katie Rae (your Stage Manager).
P.S. Mez has thank you gifts for everyone, so if you left without yours on Saturday, make sure you pick them up during the week.

It was September last year that it occurred to us that this milestone was approaching. The journey we have taken in the past twelve months, to reconnect with our past students has been wonderful. Learning what past students have gone on to achieve in their adult lives has been such a joy.
How do you encapsulate 30 years? How do you thank everyone? How do you track everyone down? Inevitably and regretfully, someone will be missed. We hope that this weekend's celebration brings together past and present students to celebrate 30 years of theatre.
Merilyn and Bill xx

Three sleeps to go!
