The Dobbs Theatre

Georgia · United States · Execution site

Jesse was a caretaker who loved the theatre and took parts when a role called for visible age. In the early nineties he wrapped his car around a tree.

In the early 1990s a caretaker named Jesse worked at this college theatre in Young Harris, Georgia. He loved the place, and when a production needed somebody who genuinely looked his age, he took the part.

One day, driving home, he wrapped his car around a tree.

The black box studio is where students report him, and the storage room has its own account involving sound.

He is described with affection rather than unease by everyone who mentions him, which is uncommon in this archive and easy to understand here. He was staff, he was in the productions, and the students who work in that room now were not born when he died but know his name.

His surname is left out. This happened within living memory and his family are in north Georgia.

The theatre is used by the college.
