SPAT is thrilled to announce that Lindy Sharp has taken on the baton as the new director for the SPAT Singers. She will be very ably assisted by Rosemary Bauer and all the other members of the group.

Lindy has been a member of SPAT for 40 years and has rarely missed being part of a SPAT Singers performance – as well as starring in many other theatrical productions. 

She has had a lot of experience directing vocal groups whilst working as a high school music teacher in the Illawarra for 33 years. Lindy is looking forward to continuing the SPAT Singers tradition of presenting music from a diverse range of genres, following in the footsteps of the founding and long-term leader Rod Lander. His was the vision and the dedication that created the lasting legacy that we hope to continue.

Another of the popular ‘afternoon tea’ Soiree shows, which we presented at Hillcrest House last year, is planned for late June or early July. Audience numbers will be limited to 40, so watch out for advance notice to ‘book the date’. 

The Singers meet at the Stanwell Park CWA Hall on Friday nights at 7.30pm and all are welcome. Come along for some singing, socialising and perhaps a glass of wine as well! We look forward to an exciting musical journey ahead.

And don’t forget SPAT’s Improv workshop followed by a night of theatre sports in June, plus our upcoming production of Things I know to be True by Andrew Bovell as well. Lots on!
