Further Information The first production by the group the would shortly become Dunedin Repertory Society. The proceeds of this short season are to be set aside as a nucleus of a fund to be used for the purpose of forming a permanent Repertory Company, and when it is realised that Dunedin is the only one of the four New Zealand centres without such an organisation there should be sufficient support forthcoming to remove such a stigma.
