1950 - 2010

Our dear friend, Lars Hansen, passed on January 31, 2010 at the age of 60, due to liver cancer at his home in Palm Springs. Lars was a frequent visitor to San Francisco and is survived by his husband of 20 years, Anthony Amend. Lars was the former Director of the now defunct Long Beach Civic Light Opera of Long Beach, California, and was responsible for presenting such Broadway legends as Jo Anne Worley, Shirley Jones, and Howard Keel to Long Beach audiences.

Lars was also General Manager of the Pasadena Playhouse, and presented Charles Pierce in his final Pasadena performance. Services have already been held at the Colony Theatre in Burbank, California on March 14, 2010. Any questions may be directed to Ray Workman, at (415) 624-5423, or [email protected].
