First of all, it's a 'he said-they said' situation that can never be definitively settled either way. But, more importantly, he's the director now. It's all about the quality of the productions -- or its lack. Link to comment

cobweb Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) It does seem like it's time to stop re-hashing the past. Probably he should have declined to comment; this doesn't make him look good. However, as someone who recently rediscovered what a fun place Philadelphia is for a weekend trip from NYC, I'm eager to see the company. Hopefully in the spring.
