2) You may be working for this theatre, LD, or someone associated with it one day (or at least apply).
A favorite producer used to say in his curtain speeches "If you like the show, tell your friends. If you don't, shut up and let them find out for themselves."
Not trying to stifle free and open discussion here, but just attempting to help you see there may have been factors of which you're not aware. Just more of my "free and unsolicited fatherly advice." Do with it what you will.  |
Haha, again, Derek comes in with wisdom.
I guess my (emotional) rant was on what I see as a misappropriation of funds. Given the wording of the job opportunity, and my brief chat with the
TD, my understanding is they get a new LD every-year, it's just whomever answers the ad. The LD takes a look at their facilities, their gear, watches a few rehearsals, and makes a (What do you call these things?) Rent List.
I get your point about making friends and not enemies. I know I won't be working for the theatre (as it's another school), probably not the TD (as he is an educator), but
perhaps the LD. I wasn't really personally attacking anyone. Merely calling into question the TD's approach to teaching his students and running his facility.
