Casting Agent Alee Ralph Dies at 45

Ralph was born August 27, 1963 in Alabama and graduated from Wagner College with a Bachelor’s of Arts. He is best known as the Production Supervisor at Big League Theatricals for 17 years, and spent the last ten as the casting director.

Ralph is survived by his mother Bonnie Jean Johnston, her husband Charles Johnston, his sister Liza, a brother, Jesse, and his life partner, Tom Reiter.
