Passing of Kevin Moore of Cleveland Play House
It is with great shock and sadness that Cleveland Play House shared the news of the passing of Managing Director Kevin Moore. On Saturday, October 24th, Kevin tragically died possibly due to a pulmonary embolism or heart attack. He was 59 years old.
(Side comment: Kevin was a warm and caring person. I, personally, will miss him, as will the entire CLE theater community.)
