In Memoriam: Mari Lyn Henry

Mari Lyn Henry, actor and author, acting coach and casting director, teacher, theater historian, and long-time member of the League of Professional Theatre Women, passed away June 24 in New York City after a long illness. She was 81 years old.

In 2019, the League of Professional Theatre Women presented Ms. Henry with the League's Special Theatre Woman Award.

The League and its members will miss Mari Lyn Henry deeply, and like hundreds of other women in the performing arts, we will continue to benefit from her insightful writing and teaching for years to come.

A memorial celebrating Ms. Henry’s life and career will take place November 6, 2023.

Only as Strong as the Woman (Writer) Next to Me!

The League of Professional Theatre Women stands alongside the WGA as they demand fair wages and take action to ensure more protections for artists. We encourage LPTW members to join the WGA on the picket lines or on social media this month as the strike continues.
