The local arts and culture community is mourning the death of the former Artistic Director of the Sudbury Theatre Centre.

David Savoy passed away yesterday in his sleep after battling multiple sclerosis for a number of years.

Savoy had guided the downtown theatre since 2009, but stepped down last year for health reasons.

His funeral will be in Toronto, but arrangements are still incomplete.

Condolences and donations to the Actors’ Fund of Canada can be made at the Sudbury Theatre Centre in Savoy’s name.
