It’s been two years since that total idiot Scott Montgomery left us. There aren’t many days that go by that I don’t think about him. I miss him, what a true friend he was to me, his loyalty and support and unwavering belief in me. True friendship is so rare and precious, something I’ve learned more since he’s been gone, and I miss one of my rare and true friends. He was better to me than I was to him, and I love the way his memory inspires me and so many others.

He was also a total pain in the ass (sorry Wendy). When he cast me in Jekyll and Hyde, he would never come out and say that he’d like me to be thinner for the role, that perhaps my girth was not entirely consistent with the character.

However, he would tell me that others on the production team may have had some simmering concern about Mr Hyde looking maybe too much like Mr Potato Head, but he’d never come out and say “Lose some weight, chubbo!” He was such a politician.

And then one day he showed up at rehearsal with a big box of P90X stuff, the whole freaking line of products and supplements, and he said that he had ordered it for himself and they accidentally sent him two of them, and would I maybe be interested in having it since he didn’t just want it to go to waste. And he also said, and I quote, “it’s not really for your weight anyway, it’s more for balance and agility.” And I took it home and out of spite decided to eat even more In N Out and become, were it possible, even more sedentary.

And he never said another word about it.

And just having it sitting unopened at my house has given me incredible balance and agility.

So, thanks Scott. You’re an idiot and I love you. I’m gonna pay it forward today by making people conscientious of their weight in the most passive-aggressive ways I possibly can.

It’s hard to be grateful or feel thankful when bad things happen. It hurts my heart to say that my friend Scott, pictured here with his beloved wife Mel, passed away in his sleep. I get to work with a lot of really amazing couples, but Scott and Mel became my best friends after their wedding. When I met Scott two years ago, he and Mel were hiring me to be their wedding photographer. He was a lot of wonderful things to a lot of people. He was the fun uncle who would make each niece and nephew a custom birthday cake. He was the actor who would pass out Cadbury eggs instead of ammunition during performances of Les Miz. He was the lovable/annoying guy on Facebook who just can’t stop talking about how much he adores his wife. He was a talented director, happy-go-lucky, uplifting man who truly cared about others. I could go on for ages. But to me, he became a protective big brother. I said to Mel one day, Your husband is the BEST!! Can’t you just find another Scott for me? Mel turned to me in all seriousness and said, "I wish there was Pepper, but I’ve been looking a really long time and he’s the only one like him. But, I would be totally happy to share him with you!” LOL We live in Utah and the joke stuck, when I wanted to see them, I’d send a group text saying that the second wife wanted to come hang out, it never got old. But then came a terrible call, and I walked into the room where Mel was sitting and she said “Pepper, our husband died….” I am devastated. I have never seen a man love his wife as much as Scott loved Mel. Watching him love her was a privilege for me, and it gave me hope not just for myself, but that everyone can find their unique better half. That they had less than 2 years together is an outrage, and that he died following a routine tonsillectomy makes me angry. I’m not sure who I’m angry at, but I’m angry and I’m sad. I miss skiing together, I miss dinners, but most of all I miss laughing. Scott had the best laugh, it would infect you, and no matter what was going on in your world, if he was laughing, you would be laughing too. He brought light and joy and love and side splitting laughter into the world. And cake....

My heart is so heavy. Scott was such a good friend for 18 years. It seems like a bad dream. Everyone loves and misses you so much Scott!

The guy on the right is Scott Montgomery, pictured here after the closing of Annie Jr a couple summers ago. He directed Annie Jr and Elf Jr for us, he attended almost every Academy show (and he even performed in a couple!), he visited our classes frequently, and he helped in countless ways to make the Academy what it is today.
Scott passed away in his sleep yesterday morning. We love him, we will miss him, and he will always be a part of our family. We are all better today and we will be better forever because we had him.

I am not ready. @scottmontie I am not ready. It is literal agony to write this post. Agony. I truthfully am dreading every second and my heart is ripping out of my chest and I can’t breathe and the tears haven’t stopped. Scott- you saved us. Preston and I. We had a terror of an experience with a contract we were on in New York that was supposed to last a full year. I contacted Scott the second we turned down the contract and returned home knowing he would shortly be holding auditions for “Tale”. A part of us didn’t even want to perform anymore after that horrendous experience, but Scott gave us one of the greatest gifts of our lives by casting us in “Tale”. We rebuilt, we were surrounded by freaking incredible humans, working on the most gorgeous show I’ve ever done. Our lives have been intertwined these past few months as we’ve spent so much time with you Scott. We are SO much the better because of your influence and I hate it that my brain and heart keep telling me they won’t happen anymore. Every time I went to text someone yesterday, I typed in their name it brought up a group chain with YOU in it. It has been utterly heartbreaking.

I would work on ANY show with Scott at the helm. He is one of the most INSPIRED and GIVING directors I’ve ever worked with and he has a way of empowering you and befriending you when you feel alone or discouraged. His reach is great and wide- I’ve watched him reach out to those in dark places in his shows, he is the most loyal friend. As a director he encourages you to explore hard feelings, go further than you’ve let yourself before, and provides a safe environment to do so- the safest I’ve ever felt. He provides a way for his actors to have an experience, not just play a role. Working with him on “Without a Word” was one of those moments. “Once upon a Dream” was another one of those. Scott and I were both sorting through hard things from our past during Jekyll and were able to heal in our own ways and forgive those in our past because of that experience. I treasure those memories forever. Both Tale and Jekyll have been my favorite theatre experiences of my life- mostly because of how LOVED and VALUED and APPRECIATED I felt by

My heart is completely broken as I learned of the passing of my dear friend Scott Montgomery today. Scott touched countless lives including mine, and my family. He was a brilliant performer and director. He pushed people to be their best, and he always brought his best. He was a mentor to my kids along with so many other kids. But most importantly, he was a loyal friend with a heart of gold. I will miss him so much. I will miss his laughter, his insights, our long talks about theatre, and about life. He will be so greatly missed, but his legacy will carry on. Until we meet again my dear friend, we will "Feed the Birds" in loving memory of you. ❤️❤️❤️

I just text Scott yesterday telling him that I was at CHURCH and that the building was actually still standing. And he said, “Of course it is.” ❤️ I received the news that my dear friend passed away this morning. My heart is in a million pieces. He was one of my closest & TRUEST friends. I KNEW that he had my back, always. He saw potential in me and lovingly pushed me in every show he directed. But beyond that, he believed in me in LIFE. He was there during some of my most difficult times. I never doubted his love for me. What a gift that was. My girls adored him.
His artistic vision was beyond anything I’ve seen. He had the ability to make everyone he interacted with feel sincerely loved and important. His beautiful shows reflected that love.

He had a heart of gold. He inspired so many and genuinely led by example. He changed my life.

Scott Montgomery, I will miss all of your funny texts and inside jokes. I’ll miss your encouraging smile & boisterous laugh. Thank you. For everything. I just can’t imagine my world without you in it. 💔You changed me for the better. I bet you’re up there catching up with David as we speak. I promise to always keep pushing and I won’t let you down. I love you so much my sweet friend. Until we meet again.
