Victor Hugo Basso Theatre Legacy Fund

In memory...

Nov 11, 1944 - Feb 7, 2009
Victor Hugo Basso

We lost our best friend, mentor, and adopted brother, Victor Hugo Basso on Saturday evening (Feb 7) from a massive coronery.

It is a great shock, and while we are glad for him that it was over in an instant, it has left a great gaping hole that will take time to repair.

It is safe to say that without his influence and help, South of Broadway and Summer in the City would never have come into being.
