Daniel Renner, Dean, National Theatre Conservatory, Denver Center Theatre Company
When I arrived in Denver in 1996 to become the dean of the NTC I knew it was a tall order to fill. How do you replace a man like Tony Church who had served as the dean for seven years and was beloved by one and all? Well, Tony being the consummate professional took care of that by mentoring me and being my biggest booster. His enthusiasm, wealth of incredible stories, and daily "Hello luv" made me feel at home; made me feel part of the larger theatre world in which he was a titan. Now that Tony and his friend Paul Scofield, who died a few days before him, are up in that great repertory company in the sky, I expect they are reworking bits of their famous production of King Lear for an extended run. I look forward to seeing it.
