Dear Rob,

This happens sometimes. You had integrety and used your own name. Apparently one of the Atkins found out about the thread and chose to give their own side of the story, but was not willing to use their given name. On the other hand I did read a review from the LV Review -Journal which had good things to say about the Atkins and questionable things to say about the directing. Beware giving out too much information.

It looks like you caught them with thier pants down Patrick Embarrassed

It couldn't have been because of the subtle comments posted by RudyT? Wink

" Could it be the same lady who spent hours on end doing whatever it took to make sure every production had sponsors and venues to perform them?"

Question:

Has anyone else had dealings with this couple?

If so, how were they?

Is this realy a one time thing or is this a patern?

I understand that this one group has had problems with them, but what about everyone else?

Surly this is not the only group in the valley.

pdavis69, did you miss item FIVE in the initial entry?

"Fifth problem: These same two could not remember their lines on reviewer night or stayed in character. (like it was deliberate). Unfortunately, the reviewer likes and knows them personally and only commented how great they were and no one else. (including the audience cheering showstopping performance of a single young actor who got the loudest and longest appaluse during his performance and at bows.)"

C'mon, we all know people like this. It doesn't mean we have to, or even SHOULD accept this kind of behavior from anyone. The fact that one of them tried to defend the behavior under an assumed name (it was OBVIOUS), bears out they are what has been said of them.

I had seen it. The point was he had added too much specific info and I was able to find all the info about the cast names, name of the theatre and reviews of the show. I don't hide anything. My name is my name and my theatre affiliation is clearly marked on my responses. I believe nameless complaining is tantamount to cowardice.

Isn't this modern internet age wonderful?
