Port Fairy Theatre Group is a group of people who love stagecraft and all it holds.
Our Committee
Jose Sullivan - President
Jose appreciates all that the Port Fairy Theatre Group has given her and now wants to give back to the group. Jose studied Drama teaching at University and has been a keen member of the group for many years. As well as being in many shows, Jose is passionate about taking on the joint president role in 2025.
Grace Brown - Vice President
Grace is not only involved in Port Fairy Theatre Company but has been involved in many productions in Primary Performers and Warnambool Theatre Company. Grace can do it all and we are so excited to welcome her to our committee.
Alex Mawson- President
Alex's enthusiasm for community theatre began when she discovered a passion for Drama at high school. This passion led her to study drama at university. Since completing her degree in Arts/Education she has taught drama and directed musicals and shows at various high schools.
In recent years, her involvement in theatre has taken a back seat as she focused on raising my young children. Despite this, her commitment to the arts remains strong, and she looks forward to being apart of a wonderful team to bring engaging shows to our community!
Mary Ewen
Mary is the group's Secretary and Treasurer, a role she has held for many years. She is the engine that keeps the group's administration ticking over. She is also the person to contact for external bookings of the Lecture Hall.
Tricia Smith
Tricia has been a member of the Port Fairy Theatre Group for around 15 years. She was a coordinator of Port Talks, where locals were invited to tell 'their story' of life in Port Fairy and beyond. She also organised the Children's summer 'panto' prior to Covid and would like to look at the possibility of organising another in the future.
