Dave Burmester's Celebration of Life - March 8, 2025


Veteran's Memorial Theater in Davis, CA:  home of Acme Theater, which Dave Burmester founded while also teaching English and drama (his day job) at Davis Senior High School, apparently in 1980.

I only met Dave Burmester once, but his serene demeanor made it clear that he was the leader of Yolo County theater.  All his children and grandchildren are involved in theater too.  For example, Dave's son Tom Burmester is current Executive Director of the Woodland Opera House.


Davis City Council members presented a resolution that passed unanimously in City Council that names this space as the Dave Burmester Stage.

Improv blanket.

People piled in.  Some friends are here.

Various speeches and presentations.

Chris Burmester presents a short play - "Wandering," featuring Adam Wright, Alicia Hunt, and Chris Burmester.
