HALVASON Membership Meeting
When – Sunday, April 19 at 2:00 pm
Where -
What - HALVASON will sponsor a speaker, Mr. John Powers, who
is a member and past president of HALVASON. He will be speaking on “Addiction, Homelessness and
Depression: A Personal Story”. Please see Mr. Powers’ bio which
follows below.
On April 19, 2009, at the HALVASON Membership meeting we will welcome Mr. Powers to talk about his life, one full of what our society has identified as lifestyle problems.
Mr. Powers, having lived through these situations personally, will give a unique perspective on these conditions from the ‘inside’. He has come to what many may consider unique perspectives on his life and the problems and events which caused each of them.
Mr. Powers is an eleven year member of HALVASON. He spent most of that time on its Board, including a term as its President (2005-2007). He is now taking a break from club governance.
He graduated
The 1960’s Cultural Revolution was in Full Bloom. He returned to his high school musical roots, fronting and writing original songs for his own group. He played drums, keyboards, guitar, and bass guitar, as well as singing.
However, along with this came
drugs and drug dealing. By 1977, he met
and soon married his wife, Mary Susan Cromwell Sebby. In 1979, he entered Southwestern University
Collage of Law, eventually becoming Student Body President. Unfortunate circumstances led to Mary
Susan’s suicide in 1981, when he left for several months in
So lay the foundations of deep depression, addictions, and, later, homelessness, which lasted (with few interruptions) for over three years. The 1980’s did, however, allow attendance at the Van Mar Academy of Motion Picture and Television Acting, a two year program during which he was hired to teach classes for new students, and led to his own teaching at that school for another two years.
After moving to Las Vegas in 1989, John spent almost a decade acting in over 20 plays and musicals for the Actors Repertory Theatre, the only Equity Guild (union signed) theatre in Vegas at the time.
Now John Powers is teaching acting
during his retirement, an active advocate for a “cease-fire” in the
“war on drugs” – a medical problem he describes as “

switch seats periodically to meet new people. Think of it as musical chairs
without the music. If you hear someone talking about a topic that interests
you, jump on in. There are always new people each week so don't feel shy about
meeting someone new. We hope to see you there!
