We got word late tonight of the passing of St. Louis playwright/musician/director Christopher Jackson: city types will remember him as the creative force behind "Gaslight Square: The Musical" and "Trolley to DeBaliviere," among other works celebrating our town and its past. No details were available immediately about his death, but plans for a memorial at the Missouri History Museum are being made.
UPDATE, 5/28:
Obituary from the Post-Dispatch can be found here.

Oh, what a shock, I am so sorry to hear of this dear man's passing. I have had the joy of working with Chris at COCA camps, and performing with him. Thankyou, Chris, for your great work and wonderful self. I will call on you in the next world often.

I just read about this very sad news - I new Chris from our Principia alumni group.
We've lost a light!
