Another insightful, fun and fascinating evening, as we go into Conversation with members of the Launceston Musical Society - celebrating the 40th anniversary of this wonderful institution. Since 1981, the Launceston Musical Society has entertained and delighted northern Tasmanian audiences with memorable productions such as Godspell, Rent, Chicago, Crazy for You and Hello Dolly! We welcome long-standing LMSers with their new(ish) production team to reflect on the past 40 years: the memories, the successes and the big changes in community theatre over that time.

Theatre North Conversation, November 2021 - Launceston Musical Society 40th Anniversary

Hard to believe the Tasmanian Poetry Festival has been running for 40 years ....  the brainchild of local poet Tim Thorne.... and the tradition continues this year.

A  special event was held to launch season 2024 ... the Launceston launch of a special publication "Tim Thorne Greatest Hits" -- a special tribute by Lucie Thorne to honour the memory of her Dad.

Lucie Thorne popped into the Long Lunch program to tell us about the book ... and to give some insights into home life living with a poet and her involvement with the poetry festival through the decades.

Dur: 18'50

Book published by Puncher and Wattmann.
