Ira.jpeg

We mourn the passing of Ira Kurlander. Ira was a great friend of Theatre Rhinoceros and a very good guy. He was also a brilliant architect whose work was covered in ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST and was listed in the AIA GUIDE. He and his husband Andrew Guest hosted many out-of-town Rhino artists in their Ira designed Po-Mo Masterpiece in Cole Valley. They were also great supporters of our work and ready audience members at virtually all of our productions. We shall miss Ira’s ready wit, endless good cheer, and terrific stories about travel, art, architecture, and the good life. Rest in peace, dear, sweet Ira. You were a gift. 

COMING BACK SOON?
