So many different conversations in various FB threads and groups about the cancellation of HELEN LAWRENCE at FTA, stemming from Canadian Stage press release, Globe article, Equity response. Seems to be a lot of blame & finger-pointing going around without having all the information. Now at least one member of the cast - the people most directly affected, who actually know best - has posted the following on her FB wall, and has given me permission to share publicly, although she is not interested in engaging in further dialogue about it. Status Update i think some of you need to slow your roll and maybe think about whether youre in any kind of position to weigh in on this Equity issue in any informed way, given that a good number of you have no idea what youre talking about. youve read one article and maybe talked to a few friends and its that easy for you to jump on the blame and shame bandwagon. ill tell you this--its not black and white, everyone involved is extremely upset about the FTA cancellation and as there were many factors that led to this decision i think it behooves no one to be placing blame on anyone, least of all Equity. Equity may not be perfect and you are entitled to your concerns but please do not use this particular event to propagate your personal agendas because again, you dont have all the information and in this case Equity has been anything but negligent. EVERYONE involved has worked their asses off to bring this monumental piece together and id rather we celebrate that than engage in dramatic and divisive gossip.
