Man takes "Break a leg" to heart

Man takes ‘break a leg!’ too seriously
Alan Beck, Willamette Rep’s beloved Director of Development & Marketing, took a spill over the weekend and broke his leg. Alan is fine, though we can’t say the same for his leg. His recovery is projected to take 6-8 weeks, during which time he’ll be at home with his wife, Ginger. Ginger told us that the x-rays were horrific! Alas, Alan always puts 100% into what he’s doing…we just didn’t realize he took theatre business so literally. Please join us in sending well wishes and a speedy recovery to Alan!
