The memorial will be hosted by Vincent Curcio, longtime friend and business partner of Vaughan, and Anne Thompson Vaughan. Vaughan was the director of the 1956 production of Julius Caesar at the East River Park Amphitheater, produced by Joseph Papp, and he went on to direct over 200 productions in New York and across the country."
