Fwd: Artistic Director Tibor Feheregyhazi passes

[Moira Day]

> It is a real source of grief to us here in Saskatoon that Tibor did  
> not live to see the new Persephone theatre building finished. Even  
> as late as May he was coming out in his wheelchair to performances  
> to exhort audiences to give to the fundraising campaign. He was an  
> extraordinary person of unique talents who gave a great deal to his  
> community. He will be missed terribly by all of us here.

> Persephone Theatre sadly announces the passing of Tibor  
> Feheregyhazi, artistic director and community leader for 25 years.  
> After a lengthy battle with prostate cancer Tibor passed away this  
> morning.

>  Tibor’s involvement in the theatre world spanned 70 years  
> starting with radio plays in his hometown of Budapest. He  
> immigrated to Canada from Hungary in 1958, immediately becoming  
> involved with the Ottawa Little Theatre as a director. He worked  
> with many companies including the Canadian Players, the Winnipeg  
> Ballet, Manitoba Theatre Centre, Shaw Festival, National Theatre  
> Centre and the Citadel Theatre. In 1976 he became the artistic  
> director of Magnus Theatre in Thunder Bay.
>
> He found his adopted home in 1982 when he became artistic director  
> of Persephone Theatre. Under his artistic direction Persephone has  
> become one of the most successful and stable regional theatres in  
> the country. He nurtured not only Persephone but countless actors  
> and theatre professionals, making Persephone one of the “must work  
> at” theatres for actors across Canada. As Tibor began his 25th  
> year with Persephone one of his greatest dreams was becoming a  
> reality. The construction of a new, state-of-the-art facility on  
> the banks of the South Saskatchewan River, will be a physical  
> reminder of the legacy of a man who brought passion for the art of  
> theatre, for the actors he created with and for his beloved people.
>
> A celebration of Tibor’s amazing life, accomplishments and  
> friendships will take place at Persephone Theatre next week, final  
> details to follow.
>
> The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be sent to  
> the Cancer Society or Dialysis Unit at St. Paul’s Hospital.
