Al Grab (Scenic Consultant / Master Carpenter)
Making a career in live theatre is putting a bunch of part time jobs together to make that career. In 50+ years of live theatre work Al has way too many of those part time jobs to include in this limited space as he has basically done every job there is to do from front of house to backstage. BTW - At Al & Jan Grab's wedding 50 years ago David Jarrott was his best man.
