TEARS IN HEAVEN

Bay Area theatre has lost one of it's great talents - director & wonderful human being - Michael Spector passed away Friday night after a long bout with a brain tumor. He died very peacefully and was surrounded by friends & long time partner Michael Langham. I had the pleasure of being directed by him in The World Goes 'Round at Bus Barn Stage Company and he was also our stage manager for Kit Wilder in Broadway By The Bay's Anything Goes. I believe the last show he worked on was Bus Barn's Aida. We will all miss him dearly.

Here is Michael's bio from Aida:

Michael Spector (Director)has co-directed THE WORLD GOES ROUND and A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM and has assistant directed productions of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT and SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE.
