Venetian Theater

It turns out that my old school friend, David Gross, has a connection to the Venetian Theater through his grandfather, George P. Gross, who was the manager there. David says, “Used to spend weekends with my Grandpa George P. Gross at his theater the Venetian growing up. Many a time digging through the posters, orchestra pit and backstage playing hide and seek.”
