Whew, I don't know if I just dodged a bullet or what? I'm attempting to work with someone who has connectionws to an expensive show specific set. Yet, she doesnt want me to know who or where the sets are coming from or where they will be stored.  basically holding the sets hostage until I signed the contract she wanted....I am calling her bluff. I refused to move forward until I get the information, (for Tax and insurance reasons, but I didnt tell her that as I don't think I need to). I want to be fair and still will  be but I think it is completely reasonable to ask for this information since our theater name is involved. I decided to put my foot down now as if I don't I fear I will have lost control. Have you experienced such behavior from a director/choregrapher/set designer? I thought I should let her know clearly what is expected up front and in no uncertain terms (as I have from the start). Thanks for letting me vent:)

she needs a non-profit to obtain the sets. I want a contract and will give full use of the sets for as long as she is with our company. she is for profit. she wants to obtain the sets in our name but not tell us where or who are involved. The state (I contacted) said we need the information as the sets are worth approx. 20k and for insurance reasons I need to know the who/what and whereabouts of the sets. I don't think Im unreasonable. Now I find out she cant rent a venue in this area because of her reputation. A little wary--you bet!
