John McCormack, who nurtured emerging writers, directors, actors and designers on the New York not-for-profit theater scene for nearly four decades, has died. He was 61.
"The loss of John McCormack is not just a loss for INTAR but for the off-Broadway theater community as well," artistic director Lou Moreno said in a statement. "He was a living history of off-Broadway. There was scarcely a name or a play he did not have intimate knowledge of, and that perspective is what kept our offices full of chatter and laughter."
He followed by stints at Naked Angels ; the Zipper Theater ; Summer Shorts ; All Seasons Theater, his own company; and then INTAR.McCormack championed the careers of those including Kevin Bacon, Mark Brokaw, Patricia Clarkson, Marian Fontana, Richard Greenberg, Roger Hedden, Lucas Hnath, Wendy Kesselman, Leslie Lyles, Eduardo Machado, Deb Margolin, Rob Morrow, Keith Reddin, Jacquelyn Reingold, José Rivera, Will Scheffer, Paul Weitz and Alan Zweibel.
