20.01.2022 Ted Malloy Award for Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Theatre presented by Ted’s daughter, Helen Janke (nee Malloy) About Ted William Edgar (Ted) Malloy was a talented illustrator and signwriter and his dream was to one day work for Walt Disney. Luckily for the theatrical community of Shepparton and surrounds, that dream didn’t come to fruition. Instead, Ted left his artistic mark on the performing arts landscape of the Goulburn Valley over a community theatre career that... spanned five decades. A performer at Amateur Hour at the St Kilda Town Hall in the 1950s, Ted first appeared onstage in Shepparton in Apex Antics along with a number of other burgeoning theatricals. Ted soon moved onto appearing in productions for the Shepparton Dramatic Society and the Shepparton Light Music Company such as Salad Days, Anything Goes, Oklahoma! and Auntie Mame to name but a few and was a part of the working committee that saw the amalgamation of the two groups to form Shepparton Theatre Arts Group (STAG) in 1975. Ted was a regular performer at Kiwanis events and functions in the area and also performed from time to time with the Blue Moon Orchestra. Making use of his extensive skills as an illustrator, Ted provided the hand drawn program covers for many productions in the 1960s and 1970s around the Goulburn Valley. In later years, Ted continued to provide theatre groups with his signwriting skills for set dressings, publicity banners and promotions. With Shepparton Theatre Arts Group and Numurkah Singers with shows such as The Boyfriend and The King and I, performing in various roles, both onstage and off. His last appearance in a musical was with in 1999 with STAG as Sir John Tremayne in Me & My Girl. Ted’s final curtain call came as the School Teacher in Onyx Productions’ Son of the South, a play about Henry Lawson which premiered in 2003. See more

11.01.2022 Got a feeling that someone you know or care about it isn’t behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they seem out of sorts? More agitated or withdrawn? Or they’re just not themselves. Trust that gut instinct and act on it. Learn more about the signs and when it's time to ask R U OK? at this link https://www.ruok.org.au/signs By starting a conversation and commenting on the changes you’ve noticed, you could help that family member, friend or workmate open up. If they say they are not ok, you can follow our conversation steps to show them they’re supported and help them find strategies to better manage the load. If they are ok, that person will know you’re someone who cares enough to ask.
