Daniel Freeman

   Daniel came to TMP in its second season appearing in “It’s a Wonderful Life.” He served on the Board of Directors for three years as vice-president and gave generously of his time and talent. He is remembered for his stellar performances in “Tuesdays with Morrie,” “The Laramie Project,” “The Underpants,” “Of Mice and Men,” “On Golden Pond,” “The Fantastiks,” and “A Christmas Carol.” He also appeared in a number of fundraisers and was a one-man promotion machine. It seems strange to us that this force of nature is no longer here but we are blessed to have known him.
