We need your input for the Roleys and the Gold Roley Awards. 
It is the suggestions from our membership that make these what they are, so please take a moment to think... and then act! 
A moment of your time will make someone feel really special and appreciated.
A reminder of the year that was (2025):
Feb/March - 'Assassins' (directed by Chris Alvaro and Musical direction by Matthew Walford and Krispin Maesalu)
May - Theatre Choir collaboration with Armadale City Concert Band
July - 'Men at Arms' (directed by Brad Towton)
Sept. - 'Julius Caesar' (directed by Andre Victor)
Oct/Nov - 'Play On!' (directed by Paul Treasure and Bree Hartley)
Dec. - Christmas films screening (with our new projector)
Dec. - Roleystone Theatre Christmas Choir performances at Armadale and Araluen Carols events.

THE AWARDS - 
1. ROLEYS (many can be presented)
The Roleys are a way to remember a stand-out moment, a funny moment or even a poignant one. Think back over the year and send in a name and a reason! It may be that you were involved in the cast or crew, or maybe you saw the show.
2. THE GOLD ROLEY (only one presented)
Like sport's Most Valuable Player... but for our Theatre! Can be on stage, backstage or behind the scenes! Who has been invaluable to the group in the last 12 months?!
** Please email your Roley and/or Gold Roley suggestions to pauljtreasure@gmail.com
