In Memoriam: Sherman W. Gross

It is with sadness that ATPAM announces the death on December 16, 2016 of Gold Card Manager Sherman W. Gross, at his home in Floral Park, New York. Brother Gross was 90-years-old and had been a member of ATPAM since 1965.

Sherman retired from the industry in 2001 after spending over a decade as the House Manager at the Music Box Theatre on Broadway, which at that time was co-owned by the Irving Berlin Estate and the Shubert Organization.

Sherman also had a long and distinguished career as a Broadway General Manager. Among the Broadway productions he managed were: Shakespeare’s Cabaret, Heathen! Nash at Nine, Hamlet (starring Nicol Williamson), Cop-Out, Spofford, Henry, Sweet Henry (starring Don Ameche), The World of Charled Aznavour, Peterpat and Bajour (staring Chita Rivera and Herschel Bernardi with a young Michael Bennett in the cast).

Sherman is survived by his wife Renee, a brother, son Marc and daughter Ellen, in addition to five grandchildren.

He will be missed.
