After a lengthy and bold struggle with pancreatic cancer, James has passed away. We have lost a brilliant colleague, scholar, actor, director, student, and kind friend. He loved Shakespeare, teaching, and all of his students. And he loved the barn at Winedale. This is a very sad time. Please keep Laurel in your thoughts and prayers.
Peace and love to every one of you.
Love,
Doc

Hi everyone,
Late notice, but 2004-05 alum Siddhartha Mahantas sent this notice for anyone in NYC who can make it.
xo
Susan
Here’s Sid’s contact info:
+1 (512) 680‑6966
We're having a little NYC/NJ memorial for James today at 2 at Prospect Park. Some people you probably know are coming/invited -- Robert Moncrieff, John Meyer, Chelsea Bunn, Christopher Lew, a few others -- but please feel free to let me know if there's anyone you think I should let know! or just pass on the word + my number
Sent from my iPhone
Oh no.. Nick was one of the best. Funny, kind, energetic..he was a true
light that 76 summer. And I had no idea what he'd done since then, but
obviously that same energy, humor, talent, and I would suspect kindness
must have continued or he would have never had that rich career. Wow.
Thanks for letting us know, Doc. Too young....

I just read in Variety that Nick died. He was at Winedale ’76 and ’77. Surely the most original Petruchio I’ve worked with or seen! Terrific risk-taker and genuine comedian.

This notice popped up on screen while I was doing some administrative work
at my home office, and I thought some of you might find it amusing.
I hope this mail finds everyone well, and please know that I think of you
all every day.
