“The MCC Theater community mourns the loss of our much loved and uniquely inspiring partner, colleague, and dear friend,, who lived fearlessly and with great curiosity, good humor, a boundless passion for connection, and a whole lot of heart. We will miss him deeply and always,” read a statement from MCC.
LuPone was born on July 29th, 1946 in Brooklyn, New York to Angela Louise , a housewife, and Orlando Joseph LuPone, a school principal. His passion for the arts began at an early age. In the sixth grade at his North Port, Long Island elementary school, he saw his younger sister Patti dance at a PTA Dance Concert in a colorful hula skirt. After he told his mother how badly he wanted to wear the skirt, she told him that if that’s what he wanted then he’d have to enroll in dance class, which he did the following year.
While teaching an acting class at New York University, one of his students was Bernie Telsey, who together would form the Manhattan Class Company — known today as MCC Theatre.Frozen
