Our hearts are broken....... Bob Hanner appeared in over 25 Dawson productions from 1997-2017. Even when having a permanent theatre in our community was just a dream...he appeared in each play we wrote (no matter where we performed) to help raise the funds needed to make our dream a reality. Bob was an incredibly funny actor, true friend and wonderful supporter. We are blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Bob over the years and are fortunate to have so many wonderful memories. We will certainly miss this amazing man! To Linda, Jeff, Matt and Rob...our prayers are with you. We love you all.
