In Loving Memory…

It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that Christopher Elwell, President of the Board of the Waterfront Playhouse, has passed away suddenly while visiting Hawaii.

Chris was a beloved leader, a passionate supporter of the arts, and a true friend to our theatre and the Key West community. His generosity, humor, and unwavering dedication to our mission touched countless lives, both onstage and off.

We are devastated by this loss and are holding his family and loved ones in our hearts. Chris believed deeply in the power of live theatre to build connection and compassion — and we will carry that belief forward in his honor.

He will be missed more than words can express.

To commemorate his great contributions to the Waterfront, we will be dedicating this season to his memory and having a celebration for him mid season.
