Venture Theatre was a theatre I opened and ran from 2005 – 2009. We did original scripts and I got to work with some of the greatest most creative writers, directors, actors, and crew that I’ve ever worked with. We also had a fair amount of characters killed off. Here’s a list and the method of their deaths. Oh, and (os) means they died or are assumed to have died off stage:
