Rabb, Ellis (1930–98), actor, director, and manager. He was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and educated at the University of Arizona, Carnegie Tech, and Yale before starting to act and direct in summer Shakespeare festivals. Rabb made his New York debut in a 1956 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and appeared mostly in classic roles throughout his acting career. In 1960 he founded the Association of Producing Artists (APA), a repertory company for classics that gave New Yorkers some of the best revivals of the era. The APA disbanded in 1970 and Rabb became a freelance director and sometime actor.
