John Graham

I am sorry to learn that John Graham, our associate editor for Utah, has passed away.

John was an associate professor and head of the BFA Acting at Drake University. The university website states that “John Graham is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, where he worked as an actor and director for 10 years before leaving to travel, act, and teach. John has worked as an actor, a director, and a vocal coach across the United States, Canada, Asia, and Europe. Credits include work with the Tony-Award Winning Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, La MaMa Umbria, the Cincinnati Opera, San Francisco Stage Company, the Michael Chekhov Association, Plan-B theatre in Salt Lake City, and StageWest theatre in Des Moines. Before coming to Drake, John taught at Utah Valley University, The University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, Macalester College in St. Paul, MN, and The University of Wisconsin-Madison.”

IDEA sends our condolences to his family and colleagues.

Thanks, John, for your service to IDEA. You will be missed.
