SETH PARENT
[1957-2007]

Seth never worked for THE NEW PLACE, nor even knew it existed. Although he and I acted together in Dracula and Deathtrap in St. Cloud in the 1980s, we'd lost touch. What I remember most about Seth was his total lack of ego. He desperately wanted to be in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest in 1986. When his day job mandated he stay off the boards, he was the one in the house to lead the standing ovation on opening night.

...And Lord he was fine!
