Rehearsals suspended

At the beginning of rehearsal this morning Colin announced that rehearsals are now suspended. The promised funds for the production budget mysteriously cannot be accounted for, and this suggests mismanagement that goes well beyond the excuse of the government elect not being able to release funds. As Gideon explains, the set and costumes are not extravagantly expensive – but absolutely nothing can be purchased at the moment as there is no cash on hand. This is preventing the creative team to deliver the show that have contractually agreed upon.

Colin apologised to the cast, saying that he believes that the cast and the show have been deeply compromised by the theatre’s management.

Rehearsal may resume at 3pm tomorrow, if the management can meet this deadline with the minimum budget of funds guaranteed.
