Working for all stage managers in the UK

Andrew Killian

Stage Management Association  were very sad to hear the news that Andrew Killian, Honorary Member and proud SMA member for 40 years, passed away quietly in his sleep today after a period of illness.

Andrew's legacy as a teacher, trainer, polymath but mostly as a Stage and Company Manager will sustain.  

A very kind man who was generous with his time, he will be very sadly missed by so many whose lives he touched.  

Our thoughts are with Grace and his family.
