Francis M. Croke M.D. 

July 4, 1953-January 15, 2026

    We are honored to announce the creation of the Frank “Doc” Croke Memorial Fund, established in memory of Dr Francis “Doc” Croke— a remarkable physician, gifted lighting designer, talented set builder, and devoted mentor whose life touched countless people both inside and outside the theater community.

  Dr. Croke believed deeply in the power of creativity, teamwork, and service. Whether caring for patients, designing lighting that transformed a stage, or building sets late into the night alongside volunteers young and old, he inspired others through generosity, craftsmanship, and passion.
