for those of you who knew Larry Life or were involved with IPFW theater, please see below. i imagine this will have quite a turnout.

The theatre majors of the ipfw department of theatre invite you to a candle light vigil Sunday February 18 from 7-8pm in the court yard adjacent to Williams Theatre to remember the life of Larry Life.

What: Candlight Vigil in memory of Actor, Director, Teacher, and Friend Larry Life
When: Sunday February 18 from 7:00pm-8:00pm
Where: The Courtyard in front of Williams Theatre
Some Candles will be provided. Hot drinks will be provided

Note: This is in no way associated with IPFW other than the location and student support. Larry Life was a great teacher, director, friend, and mentor and this vigil is the Theatre Majors, who worked closely with Larry, way of saying thank you for his guidance and leadership. He will be truly missed from our program, as he was the heart of what kept us going. We hope you can join us to say thank you and if you can pass this on to those you know, we would be truly grateful. Thank you.

Holy crap. When did he die? I didn't hear anything about this, and I work there and I'm a student. sh*t.

I've been hesitant to post this but here is another memorial to take place on the 22nd of February

A memorial for Larry has been scheduled. It will be on Thursday, February 22, 6pm, at the Embassy Theatre. The memorial shouldn't last for more than an hour. Memorials may be made to the Fort Wayne AIDS Task Force.

He was a wonderful person and will be incredibly missed.

I met him a couple times. My dad worked with him when he was police chief at IPFW. I never got into any theater there, but I know that almost everyone looked up to this man as a teacher and a director and more.

I'm sad to hear of his passing.

Dang. Another legend, gone.

my parents have been heavily involved with IPFW theater for about 20 years, Larry was a fixture around the house.

mom was crushed.

indeed, he will be sorely missed.

Worked briefly with Larry back in the early
days of the Arena Dinner Theatre.

...a loss for the arts here in the Fort.
