It was lights, camera and action at Mareeba Aged Care in Maclean recently as two residents took to the stage to dazzle a local audience with their self-written stage play.

‘The Moussaka Meeting’ was written and presented by Mareeba Aged Care residents Lorraine Mitchell and Roy Bowling. A theatrical delight telling the story of a mother and daughter’s annual birthday celebration at a Greek restaurant.

“What a brilliant job they did,” said Mareeba Aged Care Director of Nursing Leanne Hancock, “They had us captivated, they had us laughing, and best of all they brought us together for a wonderful afternoon.”

The play was attended by Mareeba Aged Care residents, staff, family and friends and organised by Mareeba volunteer Jenny Homewood.

Mareeba Aged Care residents and friends are already looking forward to the next production.
