[NEohioPAL] Passing of Corby Grubb

[Ensemble Theatre]

To Board, Staff, and Ensemble friends and Colleagues, 
 
It is with deep sadness that I inform you of the passing of 
Corby Grubb of Alpha Audio Associates.  Corby was Ensemble's
sound designer and engineer for over 15 years, starting at The Civic
with us in 1994. He had been battling cancer of the throat for several 
years, and quite courageously at that. Several shows we did were 
accomplished by hand notes and gestures because he had lost his voice. 
 
Corby was noted for his unannounced comments and his impatience with
actors and directors. He was a quiet man normally, so his sudden vocalizing
always caught us by surprise. He was especially honored to have been 
selected to record President Obama's visit at Shaker Heights High School last 
fall. 
 
Corby's last show for Ensemble was "The Man who Came to Dinner" and he 
recorded our 30th Anniversary Benefit in the Bolton Theatre. We will miss his
suddenness, and we will miss his acute sense of technicality, for which he
was a thorough professional in his field. But mostly we will miss a kind and 
considerate man, who was always at the theatre even during his last months. 
 
Corby passed away on December 20, 2009. No services will be held, and we have made an attempt to contact his family. To his friends and clients in Northeast Ohio we send
our deep condolences, and join with them in remembering Corby Grubb
