The man, the myth, the legend - Graeme was a part of Old Nick for decades serving as a board member, a producer, a director, a writer, almost every role you can imagine. Graeme was involved at every level of production and produced variety of shows from Uni Revues, Summer Schools, musicals and plays. He was involved in some of the most memorable sketches in Revue history including “Tasmaniana” and “Alf”

An extremely accomplished choreographer and production manager, Kristy was involved for over a decade in the Uni Revue, as well as sitting on committee for a number of years as secretary and President.

Ross joined Old Nick in 1983 as a 17 year old and in the following five years he was actively involved in almost every Old Nick production, either on stage, or as part of the production team. He was a cast member of the 1984 and 1985 Uni Revues, was an actor in productions for the 1983, 1985 and 1986 FASTs, directed a play for 1987 O Week, and was an actor in Beckett in the 80s that won Old Nick Best Production at the 1986 Deloraine Drama Festival. Ross was Old Nick President in 1986 and 1987.

Vikki’s Old Nick career has been like many others, travelling from treading the boards to the board of directors; but it has been the level of commitment and time invested that earned her a life membership. A committee member serving as secretary and Senior Vice President, her commanding presence has often kept things on the straight and narrow. Her contributions especially to the Summer School and Uni Revue have been vitally important to the efficient and effective running of those programmes, and as an overseer she has no peer.

William got his start in Uni Revue in 1963 and went on to perform in four, including designing two. Spending a year as President in 1966, Bill performed and designed other shows for Old Nick in the sixties before embarking on a 60+ year career as a professional set and costume designer and arts educator.

Mark Holmes has served Old Nick in the capacity of Productions Chair and Vice President, as well as being a highly competent stage manager and successful producer of the Summer School. His passion for youth theatre has been to the benefit of hundreds of young performers and technicians in the industry.

Tony’s contributions to Old Nick cannot be understated. As a member dating back to the days when we were still truly a University Society, Tony’s deep knowledge of the constitution and the rules and regulations were well known and well regarded.

Daryl Peebles has made a life out of performing - including pursuing a doctorate in comedy. He is a master of close up magic, and accomplished musician, and a prolific writer, contributing to decades of Un Revues as well as writing his own plays and musicals.

Having been conscripted into occasional playreadings by his father, David’s Old Nick career could possibly date back to 1962. He saw his first Revue at age ten, so when he started at Uni he was keen to audition for Goughspell, directed by the mighty Pat H. David went on to do five revues, sit on the committee, and submit plenty of one-act plays. David and Pam Buxton-Barber ran an Old Nick children’s theatre group. Their proudest moment was getting then Union President Duncan Kerr to play a donkey. (Doubt that appears on his c.v.)

Moving away after graduating, he won the inaugural Ian Reed Fellowship for Radio Dramatists and had eight radio plays produced by the ABC. Wrote eight published novels for children. After doing an adult ed class with Gavin Baskerville a few years back, David occasionally attempted stand-up on the Hobart circuit.

Harvey Wallbangers for ever.

Darren directed the Hobart Theatre Summer School productions for over 10 years.  He was committee member and Production Chair for even longer.  His contribution to Old Nick goes beyond that – directing or production managing a number of plays and musicals for the company.  His proudest Old Nick moment was directing the 2008 Uni Revue - Kevin 007 featuring the Moonah Mardi Gras that made the front page of the Mercury, and almost landed us a lawsuit!

Aron’s talents behind the scenes have been crucial in Old Nick’s twenty-teens, where in addition to providing gorgeous lighting designs for many of our shows, his broad technical expertise and knowledge kept productions running smoothly. Always available to provide assistance with technical documentation, procedural questions, equipment repairs and more, Aron’s contributions may appear somewhat invisible but they have been incredibly valuable.

Four years as president and over a decade on committee, Justin pushed hard on vital management and governance reforms in the post-COVID period to get the company and the Uni Revue back in fighting shape. Additionally, Justin has produced a mountain of video content for Old Nick and the Uni Revue, including many of our popular music videos.

Prominent and prolific Tasmanian actor and producer John X is a household name. From his comedy roots doing the likes of Uni Revue and X Wellington Wellington X; to a career in musical theatre including national productions of shows like The Lion King; to producing major musicals including Rock of Ages and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, John is an inescapable force of Tasmanian stage. Short films, television, feature films, pro-am plays, professional plays, wrangling firearms, crooning at Wrest Point, MCing — there is virtually no part of the profession he hasn’t touched. Somehow amongst all this he also served on Old Nick’s committee, and has had a long association with the company.
