FEHEREGYHAZI,
Tibor (1932-2007)
Family and Friends mourn the passing of Tibor
FEHEREGYHAZI, who
died July 10th 2007 after a lengthy battle with prostate cancer.
Tibor was born February 14th, 1932 in Budapest, Hungary. He rose
to prominence as a child actor with the Hungarian National Radio
service. He later graduated from the National Theatre and Film
School in Budapest and appeared in numerous stage and film productions.
In 1956, Tibor was one of thousands of young Hungarian's who
fought in the Hungarian Revolution. That act of national patriotism
and defiance forced him to flee the country, first to Italy and
then Canada. Tibor celebrated the 50th anniversary of his arrival
in Canada on July 1st of this year. Determined to stay in theatre,
Tibor washed hospital floors, worked in camera shops and eventually
attended the National Theatre School in Montreal. He went on
to become the resident director of the second stage theatre at
the Manitoba Theatre Centre, in Winnipeg, the artistic director
of Magnus Theatre in Thunder Bay and the artistic director of
Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon. Tibor received numerous awards
including the Order of Canada in 2005. Tibor's first love was
theatre… the art, the artists, and the audience. He often said
the most important person in the theatre was the audience. It
was a belief he instilled in all those who were a part of the
Persephone family. Tibor could often be seen at the theatre before
and after each performance talking to patrons, getting to know
them, their likes and dislikes. It was after one elderly season
ticket subscriber told him that she wouldn't be coming to the
theatre any more because she didn't like to drive at night, that
he organized a service, where a bus would pick up subscribers,
take them to dinner and then to theatre and return them home.
