Jerry Hlava (Emeritus) studied theater at Columbia College. While attending Columbia he had the opportunity to audition for The Factory Theater for their upcoming production of Alive. Alive only ran for 4 or 5 years!!!!! So needless to say some roots were dug at The Factory. Other Factory shows include White Trash Wedding and a Funeral, Clean, Herb Stabler - Wandering Spirit, Endzone, The Vinyl Shop (New York Fringe Festival) and Goooo! Speech Team. Other shows around town have been In the Belly of the Beast with the Journeymen Theatre Co. and many others that slipped his mind. Jerry would like to thank his wife Wendy for her love and support.
