Spot on. I still cannot swallow “illness” and “personal issues” as reasons for an entire season to be cancelled. This is the QUEENSLAND Theatre Company. Not enough rehearsal time left to get up to the company’s standards. Terrible. What we don’t have the talent to address this situation.? Ask a company who is not publicly funded how they do it. Would never have happened not that many years ago. Sad, bad leadership really. Not good enough I’m afraid. And what is the outcome? No show? Postponed until? What happened to the theatrical mainstay “the show must go on”? Sad, sad days. As for the ballet…….really? You were not aware of Leanne’s vision? The wastefulness is outrageous, particularly in these challenging times. Stand up and deliver.
Thanks again Brett, we really do need stage whispers back, and some real Queensland leadership.
It has always been my understanding that the interviewee must give a detailed description of their vision, when applying for the position. How could they not know?

Thanks Karen. You are absolutely right. Those companies really need a shakeup at the board and management levels.
