FRIENDS and family of the beloved theatre all-rounder Themi Venturas gathered at the Playhouse Opera on Tuesday night to celebrate his life.
The celebration, Curtain Up, took the form of a montage of performances, memories and tributes celebrating his life and featured many of his colleagues and friends.
The term Curtain Up has a myriad of theatre references based on the moment when the front curtain is raised and the show begins. In this instance the organisers were referencing the first show Venturas staged for the Young Performers Project in 2001. They wanted to remember the past, and acknowledged that it is not the end of an era, but that his influence would continue well into the future through his work and legacy, and through all the lives he has touched.
