Sad news
I was just getting read to post an entry about the play I was in this past Sunday, in which I mentioned that one of the actors didn’t show up and the director had to learn his part in about 5 minutes, and I just received word that he didn’t show up because he was found dead in his apartment yesterday morning. I was really worried on Sunday because it wasn’t like this man to just not show up, or not call … he was one of the giants of the Boston improv community and completely professional and committed. His obituary isn’t in the paper yet so I’m going to wait on posting his name. I’m just shocked by this. We had our rehearsal last week and he was as wonderful as always. I had just friended him and his group’s MySpace profiles and hadn’t made a “hello” comment yet and I feel strangely awful about that.
No word on any arrangements yet. So terrible. A big loss for all of us.
