Donnie Neubauer

Donnie Neubauer, a gifted actor who had been ill for a while, died Tuesday. Plans are afoot for a memorial service at the San Pedro Playhouse. At this point, it's tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday (April 20). His sister, Linda Humphreys, says that the service will include performances and a slide show capturing him in action. One of his final performances was a funny turn in "Divorce, Southern Style" at the Steven Stoli Playhouse in 2007, playing the object of an ex-wife's scheme. Other memorable credits from the past few years include directing a solid "House of Yes;" a turn as Rudolph's dad in "The Reindeer Monlogues," one of the last shows by Actors' Theatre of San Antonio during its stint at the Woodlawn Theatre; the jokester uncle in a sparkling staging of "Ah, Wilderness!" at the San Pedro Playhouse; and a particularly strong Peck in ATSA's "How I Learned to Drive." He also wrote one of the strongest pieces of 2005's edition of TheatreASAP.
