| Not my point. Playwrights has known for a long while that they have financial problems. They decided to spend more money than usual on developing and presenting their two big productions this year, and the rest of the programming was reduced- limiting opportunities for other playwrights and turning the Sharp Theater into a solo-performance space. They must have had financial vision for this choice, anticipating that if those two shows were able to transfer, the lopsided investment would pay-off. Well that plan did work, the two more expensive shows did transfer, so how come the outcome was so cataclysmic? I don't know what the financial arrangement was with casting previously: When Casting did exterior shows, did Playwrights own a piece of their business? Or were they on salary for Playwrights projects and then freelancing in their outside work? In other words did their casting office go from being an interior office that contracted out- to now an exterior office that contracts in? Also they fired their DEI person.I just hope some journalist does a deep dive here- nothing nefarious, just a series of decisions with a value system behind them that would be a public service to understand with transparency. | |
