In Memoriam
Harvey Schmidt, My Accidental Partner in Magic

Jan Maxwell, Monster Talent
Remembering a tireless and unflinching performer who could go anywhere and take us with her.
John Mahoney, Stage Creature and Child of God
This private, devout, and thoughtful man shared so much of himself onstage because that’s where he had the most to give to others.
John Mahoney: Truth, Grace, Joy
The man who embodied Chicago acting was most alive on its stages, sharing his gift with the colleagues and audiences who shaped him.
Remembering the Warm, Welcoming, Witty Stephen J. Albert

The Transfiguration of Albert Innaurato

Community and Communion: The Leadership of John Glenn
Making theatre in a small Idaho town perfectly suited his need, and his gift, for connection and dialogue.
