We Sadly Announce the Passing of Edward Medina
Ed Media and Nate Hinkle (seated)
Edward Medina, a valued and dear member of our community, passed away April 28, 2021. We send all our love and support to his wife Nate Hinkle, also a member of TDB, and to his entire family.
We all remember the first Drawing Board reading that Ed attended. He stood up and introduced himself with authority and flare and proceeded to give the writer of that evening’s script precise, generous notes. From that point on Ed and Nate were regular members attending most of our readings and always providing thoughtful feedback. In 2018, we produced a stage reading of “There Is No You and Me” by Linda Manning. The play had been in development for quite some time, and we were pleased to ask Ed to direct the reading. He brought his love of writing and his sharp directing skills to the process and the reading was a tremendous success.
In addition to his directing work, he has published many novels and short stories, and was a theater critic reviewing countless Broadway and off Broadway shows at https://www.theatrereview.nyc/about
We will miss Ed’s considerable contribution to our group, and his vibrant and warm presence. With deep gratitude for his friendship and professionalism, the TDB Family
