Long time Chicago actor Page Hearn died on May 17 in New York City. Hearn had been Managing Director of City Lit Theatre between 1988-2005 before moving to New York. He will be most remembered for his multiple portrayals of the butler Jeeves throughout his tenure with City Lit.I had the chance to meet him before he moved from Chicago. I remember him being warm, kind, and charming. His performance in the Ferenc Molnar's The Play's the Thing was picture perfect and simply delightful.
A memorial service will be held for Mr. Hearn at City Lit Theatre on June 30.
Hearn was 49.
