Fran Bennett, the tremendous actor & voice teacher was called back this morning at 8:30AM. In performance & teaching, she zeroed in on all the possibility. I’ll never forget her King Lear. For the ages. A commanding presence in the craft. Now, rest in eternal peace, dear artist

Our hearts are heavy: Fran Bennett has passed away. She served for 36 years as #calartstheater Linklater Voice faculty. Fran’s voice was unmistakable. She never shied away from using it. And she taught so many throughout the years to find and free their own. #calarts

Fran Bennett told me, “work on your acting everyday dear. God took a day off, but you ain’t God.” She was a patron saint of theater. Proud to include myself in the thousands of students, actors & artists she taught, molded & inspired. Rest in Play
