It is a strange and trying time for all of us in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. We certainly understand times are tough for you, as they are for us. We have been proud to bring Stage Directions for free all these many years and we will continue to provide you with complimentary subscriptions during the pandemic. However, we would like to ask in these difficult times that you consider a small donation to help support our efforts here at Stage Directions as we work to keep our industry up to date by providing you with a continuous stream of current and vital information when it is needed, today more than ever, to keep us all in the theater community connected.
Max Weinstein, December 21, 1979–July 5, 2020
Max Weinstein, former Stage Manager, Stage Managers’ Association member, and most recently Social Media Manager for SMA partner, the Actors Federal Credit Union, passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack on July 5th, 2020 at the age of 40.
Max was a great friend of the Stage Managers’ Association. He was instrumental in securing the ability of Professional and Associate SMA members to join the ActorsFCU directly through their SMA membership. The results of his diligence and commitment enables those among us who work outside of the major performance unions an opportunity to enjoy the liberation from more unsympathetic financial institutions. And for those of us who work within the major performance unions, the ActorsFCU pays a small fee to the SMA for each new member who signs up, thereby allowing us to expand our membership programs.
We in the New York Metro region will miss Max’s regular companionship at our local gatherings. He has left a legacy of financial opportunity for stage managers for which we can all be grateful.
