Actors Co-op's 20th Anniversary Season is being dedicated to the memory of David Schall. As one of the original founders of Actors Co-op, David Schall was the man behind the scenes, in front of the scenes, and the man spreading the word about the only Christian theatre company in Los Angeles under contract with Actors' Equity Association, the professional union for stage actors. David's talent, persistence and attention to detail has brought Actors Co-op to the forefront of small professional theatres in Los Angeles. David passed away on April 11, 2003, hours before he was to appear on stage in the opening night performance of UNCLE VANYA.
