At the Royal Theatre, it's normal for touring crew to arrive as strangers and leave as friends, in just one day. Yoan Plourde left as our friend last week after a great day of working together putting on a show, and then he passed away suddenly and tragically. On behalf of the Royal Theatre crew, I extend condolences to his family in Quebec, his tour family out on the road right now, and his work family at Solotech and elsewhere.</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><a href="http://www.timescolonist.com/man-who-died-in-balcony-fall-was-technician-for-jann-arden-tour-1.1348602" target="_blank">http://www.timescolonist.com/man-who-died-in-balcony-fall-was-technician-for-jann-arden-tour-1.1348602</a> </div></body>
