LOCAL 868 REMEMBERS CHARLES LORE

Charles LoRe joined Local 868 in 1993. From his earliest years growing up in New York City, Charles’s passion was the theatre. His career took him to Solomon Brothers but, because theatre was so important to him, he also formed a small production company on West 46th Street, gathering scripts from new authors with an eye towards getting plays produced. After Solomon Brothers closed, Charles decided to relocate in 1988 to the Washington DC area, where his sister lives and where he began ushering at the John F. Kennedy Center. After being a member of the ticketing staff of the Washington National Opera, where he first joined 868, he was added to the Kennedy Center box office staff as 1st Assistant Treasurer. He never lost his passion for the theater and one of his great joys was hearing his colleagues talk about their theatre experiences after weekend trips to Broadway. He was a regular contributor to The Actors Fund. WWW.IATSE.NET
