It can't possibly be that a LOT of misinformation is easily spread on Facebook and now people want to do some due diligence first.

And never dramatically react and assume people are attacking you when they're instead just bringing a critical eye to the situation.

I'm all for blaming this on Ken Davenport if possible.

FYI it is a non union show self-produced by the writer. Any variation in the cost of insurance based on cast size would be minimal, reinforcing the likelihood that it is more of a pretext than a reason.

The Dewey Cheatem & Howe is probably too long for the marquee --- how about the P.T. Barnum?

Sorry that happened, Pippin. The musical is in a rented theater for five performances and is being produced by the writer himself. The writer has little control over the space he has rented so he probably would have to cancel the production, which he has written and saved money for, and find a different space. Doesn't it just make more sense to fire your friend and find another actor who can work around the issues? Wouldn't all of us end up doing the same thing the writer did, it seems like the intelligent answer to the problem.
