We at Stage Directions were saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Randall W. A. Davidson, affectionately known to everyone as Dr. Doom for his nearly 80 years of advocating for theater safety and risk management expertise. Born on October 20, 1929, he died on Saturday, August 21, 2021, at the age of 92. We send our sincere condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues around the world on his loss. I will miss seeing his smiling face, all dapper in his purple outfit and hat along with the bright red ribbon of his USITT Fellows ribbon. While small in stature, he was huge in spirit and presence. He, and his work touched many lives. He will be missed. He would end every meeting or correspondence with ‘Prayers Always’. I send him a prayer on his passing and will keep him in my thoughts.Read More »In Memoriam: Dr. Randall W. A. Davidson, a.k.a. Dr. Doom
