City Rep Honors Late Founding Member Jackie Abel West
By: Gabrielle Sierra
On May 4, 2010, CityRep lost a driving force in our creation and success, and Oklahoma City lost a pioneer of our theatrical community when Jackie Abel West made her transition from this life.
In 2000 Jackie became a Founding Member and architect of the Board of Directors of Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre, serving as the first President of the Board. She was particularly proud of the fact that CityRep ended each of their eight seasons to date in the black, an accomplishment that is a direct result of Jackie's board development and leadership.In lieu of flowers, Jackie asked that memorial be made to Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre, PO Box 1913, OKC, OK 73101.

A celebration of Jackie's life will be held in the Kirkpatrick Auditorium on the campus of Oklahoma City University at 2:00 pm on June 5, 2010."When you feel your song is orchestrated wrong,Why should you prolong your stay?
When the wind and weather blow your dreams sky-high,
Sail away, sail away, sail away!"
- Noel Coward
