We were shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Alan Rakiraki, a member and great supporter of the Oamaru Repertory Society and a stalwart of the Oamaru entertainment landscape.
As a society member Alan had previously appeared on stage and directed shows, and along with Maxine regularly attended shows encouraging and supporting others in their endeavours.
We extend our sincere condolences to Maxine and the rest of Alan & Maxines family and all those who like us are grieving his passing.
We have lost one of the better characters from life’s stage.
