    FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends, I am pleased to report that our new curtain mechanism has been installed. The curtain is now operated by the press of a button! In some ways it was sad to see the old pulley go as it had been a part of the Playhouse Theatre for so long. I was so relieved that the curtain itself didn't fall apart when it came down. The theatre is continually being improved. I would like to welcome Nick Lahey as a Rep director. This is his first play for Hobart Rep. Thank you to Nick cast and crew for their dedication to Up For Grabs. I look forward to seeing the fruits of their labours. President Liz “on duty” in the Box Office during the run of Something’s Afoot We thank our volunteers and supporters. We could not function without you. A SLICE OF THEATRE LIFE You never know who you’ll see at The Playhouse during a theatrical run. Top left, well known actor Jeff Michel selling programs. Top right, Hobart Rep Secretary, Tony Webb and below, Heather Chong, a most beloved Sponsor. (We LOVE our Sponsors!) UP FOR GRABS A Fast Paced Comedy and Maybe a Hint of Satire When Simone Allen, an exclusive art dealer, is given the opportunity to sell a Brett Whitely, her behaviour becomes highly questionable as the pressure mounts. Driven by greed and aesthetics, just how far will Williamson’s characters go when more than just a beautiful work of art is up for grabs in this sexy comedy of manners? A fast paced show about money, greed, unhappy couples and expensive art.
