Aleah Larson SETTING Summer, 1899, Manhattan In Memory It was with deep sadness this past spring that the Chattanooga Theatre Centre family marked the passing of Thomas Alford, a dedicated CTC volunteer for more than 30 years. Thomas saw no need here as too big or too small, whether that was serving as board president, appearing on stage, volunteering backstage, or working the parking lot. He was a gracious friend to this theatre, and we humbly dedicate the 2018-2019 season to him. Next time, save a tree!
