Tuesday, April 18, 2017René Moreno, North Texas’ leading and most lauded theater director, died March 28 at age 57 from complications after surgery. A Facebook post from longtime friend and colleague Laurel Hoitsma says, "Moreno had surgery last Monday [March 20] and all went well. He moved to rehab over the weekend and had heart trouble, then kidney and liver failure." Director of close to 100 plays (maybe more, as Moreno often said he didn’t keep count) in Dallas-Fort Worth theaters, plus regional productions at Oklahoma City Repertory and elsewhere, Moreno was described by actors who worked with him as “exacting,” “demanding,” and “tough.” And they loved him for being all those things. Born and raised in East Dallas, a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, and of SMU’s drama department, Moreno started his theater career as an actor. An accident in 1991 put him in a wheelchair and he said in an interview in 2012 that he spent a year in “deep grief” over the injury. A call from his fellow SMU grads at Kitchen Dog Theater offered him his first directing job and a new career path was forged. (He then returned to SMU for an MFA in directing.
