In Memoriam: Maggie DeVora

Our thanks to Gina Stahlnecker for providing this remembrance.

Maggie DaVora, longtime HB student of Austin Pendleton, Ed Morehouse and Martha Bernard succumbed to Multiple Myeloma Saturday, November 15.  Maggie put up a fierce battle over an almost three year period against the illness.  She even appeared in the role of Miss Brown in Look Homeward, Angel directed by Austin Pendleton, wearing a surgical mask during her treatment. A beautiful performance and testament to her courage, optimism and love of theatre and acting.

Maggie was a friend to all who knew her.  Red hair bouncing in the breeze, a wide and beautiful smile and a personality that was always up, happy and giving to her friends and colleagues.  All qualities that she kept in clear evidence even into the days just before her passing.  May the gods of theatre and acting look over Maggie as she enters a new place of love and eternal happiness—that redhead and smiling face will greet us again one day, at an audition for the next play being produced up there!

HB Studio is dedicated to training and practice for the theatre. The Studio will, at intervals throughout the year, make workshop performance space available in our First Floor Studio, for the development of creative projects that further the training and artistic practices fostered at HB. The Studio is not a producing organization, nor should these presentations be construed as “showcases.” Rather, we offer an opportunity for practicing theatre artists to collaborate on experimental projects, to be shared among peers and colleagues, for constructive critical feedback and mutual growth.  Continue reading →
