We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend, trustee and loyal supporter Sidney Harman. His generous investment in the mission and expansion of the Shakespeare Theatre Company resulted in the construction of Sidney Harman Hall. The many performances on its theatre and Forum stages have honored and will continue to honor Sidney’s interest in providing Washington audiences a wide variety of performances held in world-class spaces.

Sidney was fond of quoting Maxwell Anderson’s editorial: “if we are to be remembered as more than a mass of people who lived and fought wars and died, it is for our arts that we will be remembered.” Thanks to Sidney’s generosity, spirit, leadership and philanthropy, we will always remember Sidney fondly for his great contributions to the arts and to our nation’s capitol.
