In the Spotlight: Paul Holmes

Paul was a cherished figure in the world of community theatre, involved in over 100 productions across his lifetime. A consummate performer, he brought iconic characters to life — from Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady and King Arthur in Camelot with The Regals, to the swashbuckling Pirate King in The Pirates of Penzance for Miranda Musical Society.

Beyond the stage, Paul was a tireless contributor — helping backstage, working front of house, assisting with bump-ins and bump-outs, and serving on committees for both The Regals and Miranda Musical Societies. Whether in a green leotard as Mr Australia for an AGL commercial or on stage at a nursing home singing carols, Paul brought joy and dedication to every audience.
