IN MEMORY
It is difcult to imagine producing anything without
the presence of beloved Dodger family members James
Elliot Love and Jean-Michel Quincey. Friends to
everyone they met, James and Jean-Michel stood at the
heart of all that is good about the theatrical community.
They will be missed, but their spirits abide.
