Musician 

Supported the shows working on the lighting

Peter first joined both the S.A. Arts Council and the Maitland Music Club in the 1970s. At the time, the club needed to retain the name “Arts Council” to remain part of the S.A. Arts Council for touring regional shows and funding various programs. A compromise was reached to include the word “Arts” in the Maitland Music Club name, and so it became the Maitland Music and Arts Club.

Peter remembers Bob McKnight, producer, director, set designer and builder, and his contemporaries Joyce McKnight, Lois Greenslade and Judy Gerschwitz, as well as the later introduction of outside directors and the many talented performers, backstage and lighting volunteers from the district.

Peter greatly enjoyed his time as Musical Director and is proud to be a Life Member of the club, with many great memories of its musical theatre productions.
