MARK RUCKER
“At the time of his death, Mark was the associate artistic director of American Conservatory Theater; he passed away in late August. Mark played a major role in the SCR family, both as an associate artist and as a director of 21 productions here between 1992 and 2011. He was especially recognized for his imaginative interpretations of the classics; his inventive 2011 production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream was the most recent example of his exemplary work at SCR.” History written by South Coast Repertory Founders David Emmes and Martin Benson
ROB KERR was an actor who performed in one of our first shows, Elegies For Angels, Punks and Raging Queens. He was such a strong presence on stage and a tender, no-nonsense person off stage. History written by David Carnevale
LARRY BLAKE was a critic for the Golden Rain News. Larry was a long-time actor and director around Orange County. He was recently seen onstage in How to Succeed in Business at the Attic (Theatre). What I loved about Larry was that he was such a great supporter of the arts and had an amazing breadth of knowledge about musicals and plays, seeing productions throughout California and also on the East Coast.

“Larry was a great reference to me when choosing shows at the ATTIC – I think he had seen every show ever done 4 times.” – James Huffman.
JOHN EDOUS. John was an actor and stage technician who truly loved what he did and supported small theatres. With Theatre Out he worked on our production of Avenue Q and worked extensively with Late Night Leftovers, a sketch comedy group who shared our theatre for a time. He was always enthusiastic about the projects he worked on and made sure that each production was flawless. He was always eager to show theatres new technologies and to figure out tech problems for us. History written by David Carnevale
MICHAEL ROSS passed away this year. He directed at several local theatres in the area.
