I had so much to say about this article. So much. Disappointment in most all of the theatre companies represented in this article is only the beginning. After reading NESpiegel I found that his thoughts are on track with what I wanted to say and said in a much cleaner manner. I applaud what he said and all the others as well. There is a glimmer of truth in all the companies takes on what is, or is not, "professional" theatre, but the truth is a combination of these ideas. Standards must be in place as well as a work ethic. Actors should not run the business and business should not take artistic control, but they MUST work together. Checks and balances. To put my frustration to bed over what is going on in our theatre community ... folks, take the energy you are placing on sinking the other "ships" and put it in your own company. I know you think you are, but the public sees a darker side, none of US are innocent. Stop trashing one another because it's the actors, stage managers and tech that are the body count (stuck in the middle) in each war. I hope you all read what is being said here. Perhaps then Tulsa will have a true professional theatre company. Guys, we don't have it yet ... and honestly there are people out here that DO know what it means to be part of a professional experience. Honestly. This is where I will stop, as I find myself l traveling the same dark road this article took. Again, NESpiegel said what should be said, beautifully.
