The following letter was sent to the Factory Theatre Board of Directors on July 25, 2012. TO THE FACTORY THEATRE BOARD OF DIRECTORS We, the undersigned, believe that the Factory Theatre board of directors showed astoundingly poor judgement in its firing of Artistic Director Ken Gass. We urge the board to reinstate Mr. Gass immediately, and to enter into meaningful negotiation to resolve the crisis that led to his firing. It’s our intention to boycott Factory Theatre, as artists and as patrons, until Mr. Gass is reinstated as artistic director. Sincerely, |
