From the publisher of the Chicago Talent Directory®:
I was very sorry to learn of Matt DeCaro’s passing.
Matt was one of my original clients in the Chicago Talent Directory®—and he returned in every print edition over the years. This is his profile from those early years.
He was a really good client. I’ll miss him.
It’s been over 30 years, but I recognized his name immediately.
Sometimes I’m still struck by how accomplished my clients became.
I had been looking forward to welcoming him into the digital CTD community.
Rest well, Matt.
One last standing ovation for a remarkable career.
I’ll be sharing tributes to Matt from the Chicago theater community in the comments.
