It is with heavy heart that I share with you that we lost 2002 lab alumnus, Martin Bedoian, to a nearly 4 year battle with cancer. He passed peacefully at home with is family, surrounded by loving friends. He is survived by his lovely wife Kate and brilliant daughter Roan.

You would be hard-pressed to find a better human being than Martin Bedoian. To be honest, I can’t wrap my head around the idea of a world without him. He was so loved and respected by so many of us and he will be so missed.

Marty was an extraordinary director, artistic director, producer, dramaturg, actor and friend. He was smart as a whip-a graduate from Stanford, and the American Conservatory Theatre advanced training program. He pursued acting when he first moved to LA from Chicago.
