Long before Australia had movie stars, it had Nellie Stewart. In the early 1920s, Nellie, who had frequently performed leading boy roles during her 50 year career, returned to the stage for a series of charity performances of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet.

S,B&W Archivist Romy Oesterheld explores these appearances and the costume that survives in the Seaborn, Broughton & Walford Foundation Archives.

We were thrilled to host Anne Dunn, Executive Director and Co-CEO of Sydney Theatre Company, at the Seaborn Library as the final guest speaker for Theatre Heritage Australia's winter lecture series.

Anne held an invigorating discussion about her own career path in the Arts and reflected on the changes she has seen throughout her career, speaking to the challenges of balancing artistic risk with financial realities in today's rapidly evolving Arts sector.

Many thanks to all who attended and a special thanks to Simon Dwyer of Theatre Heritage Australia and our own Carolyn Lowry for coordinating this year's lecture series.

We're still buzzing after AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN by Justin Fleming.
Thank you to everyone who came to support this historic one-time play reading, recalling the extraordinary story of Dame Doris Fitton, founder and Artistic Director of The Independent Theatre for 50 years.

The play was performed at The Independent Theatre, a poignant home-coming for both the passionate spirit of Doris and for the S,B&W Foundation, as we celebrated our 40th anniversary and remembered our founder, Dr Rodney Seaborn, who bought and rescued the theatre from severe disrepair, restoring the iconic venue until it reopened in 1998.
