Included in her weekly program is a special 30-minute Theatreland segment, which is devoted to the community theatre scene in and around Melbourne, and covers details of current and future productions, interviews and production reviews. Joan has commendably continued to present her Monday program despite COVID-19 restrictions and theatre closures. The only difference is her show is now heard between 5pm and 9pm. In the absence of Theatreland, Joan has introduced a 30-minute segment based on musicals Each week she plays a different musical, with the story interspersed with appropriate songs. The feedback has been positive, and Joan was thrilled when she received a call from a listener in New Zealand, saying how much he was loving the program. Prior to joining Golden Days Radio, Joan joined 88.3 Southern FM when retiring from the work-force, remaining there for 11 years. Another important part of Joan's life is live theatre, commencing when she was 18 after seeing the Samaritan Light Opera Company's production of The Student Prince. After joining the chorus for their next production, Joan was well and truly bitten by the 'theatre bug'. Over the years, Joan's theatre journey has covered musical comedy and Gilbert and Sullivan, before finally discovering that her real passion is in straight theatre. Joan is a foundation member of Encore Theatre, appearing in many productions or keeping busy with publicity and front of house coordinator duties Joan has also appeared in productions with various groups around Melbourne, including Malvern, Brighton and Mordialloc Theatre Companies. She also works with The Adelphi Players, appearing in many full length productions as well as one-act play festivals. Christmas Pantos have been heaps of fun for Joan, who says she always played Grandma. "The singing, dancing and wonderful interaction with the kids made for such special memories". Being able to combine her love of theatre with the enjoyment and experience gained as a Golden Days Radio presenter has given Joan the best of both worlds - something she hopes will continue for many years to come. www.goldendaysradio.com - Cheryl Threadgold
