A Few Words from the Editor
Last-minute additions and late-breaking news make my piece very short this week.
I was delighted to hear about Mike Berry receiving an OAM for his outstanding contribution to our community.
Schools are only just back with two contributions from our Preschool and Whian Whian School – more in the next edition from Dunoon Public School and Modanville.
There is a great emphasis on theatre in this edition with several current and past Dunoon locals involved in local productions. The article from Ballina Players talks about the first youth production. Past Dunoon local Liam and his fiancee Jacinta first met in a Youth production directed by Mike Sheehan. They are living proof of the value of Youth Theatre, having gone on to participate in other local productions, and further afield, with the latest at Javeenbah Theatre in Nerang performing Rent.
Current Dunoon local Mel Doriean has been involved with Ballina Players in many roles.
And on our front page you can spot another Dunoon local performing with Lismore Theatre Company.
Star Court Theatre and NORPA also have some excellent productions coming up.
