President's Letter PRESIDENT’S LETTER August 2021 b Dear Friends, We are sending our warmest best wishes to you at this challenging time of Lockdown and isolation. STAYING STRONG TOGETHER IN LOCKDOWN We sincerely hope that you are all safe and well, and managing to stay cheerful and connected to friends and loved ones. Just when we thought the dark days of the 2020 COVID pandemic were over and we were all able to attend theatres again, albeit wearing masks and sitting in safe, socially-distanced seating, it’s most dispiriting to learn that COVID cases have increased. The disappointing cancellation and postponement of performances and events seems identical to the unprecedented situation we all had to endure last year. Once again, we see venues close down. Theatre box offices have had no choice but to offer ticket holders a refund, a rebooking or to convert their ticket prices into donations. Unfortunately, at the Foundation, we have also had to postpone or cancel some forthcoming theatre parties and events. Let us all stay strong at this difficult time and do not hesitate to email or ring our office if you would like a chat or some information. If the phone is unattended or busy, your message will be recorded and your call returned as soon as possible. HOW OUR FOUNDATION CAN HELP THE PERFORMING ARTS COMMUNITY We extend our heartfelt sympathy to members of the performing arts community who are, once again, facing shattering financial hardship caused by the sudden closure of shows and uncertainty in regard to forthcoming productions. As you know, the Foundation is devoted to supporting our artistic community whose members strive to lift our spirits in difficult times and whose performances so eloquently ‘hold the mirror up to nature’. Last year we postponed our Grants programme and, with your help, initiated a substantial donation to the Actors Benevolent Fund to become the seed funder of the ABF's rescue package - the COVID 19 EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FUND. This emergency fund has been successfully delivering urgent assistance to members of the performing arts community who were struggling to meet unexpected medical, pharmaceutical and household expenses such as utility bills or purchasing food. I am currently in discussion with Bruce Spence, the President of the ABF, to see how our Foundation can best continue to assist the entertainment sector survive the current crisis. ASSISTING STUDENTS Anthony Whelan, NIDA’s Development and Alumni Coordinator, has expressed NIDA’s appreciation for the Foundation’s commit- ment as administrator of the Leslie Walford AM Award. At NIDA’s 2021 Graduation Ceremony former Foundation Chairman Gary Simpson AM presented the Leslie Walford AM Award to this year’s winner Liv Hutley.

Celebrated playwright Alan Seymour (1927-2015) was a great Friend of our Foundation. His powerful play received a major revival in London in 2015 with Fiona Press also in the cast. 2021 cast photo (L to R): Samuel Welsh, Madeleine Wighton, Samson Alston, Grant Dodwell, Fiona Press and Anthony Phelan, COMMENTS IN THE GUEST BOOK: Fiona Press: ’’It’s great to be here.’ Anthony Phelan: ‘I feel Dr’s spirit’. On May 16, the Seaborn Theatrette was the venue for Australian Theatre - Live’s screening of the Griffin Theatre Company’s production of Katherine Thompson’s Australian play Diving for Pearls produced at the SBW Stables. In his letter of thanks, Grant Dodwell wrote: ‘How fortunate to have this screening room with one of the best projection and sound systems available for public and private screenings’. https://australiantheatre.live/on-demand-2/ ARCHIVES: AWARD, ARTICLES, TALKS The Foundation received a Highly Commended Award in the recent 2021 National Trust Heritage Awards.
