I had to fire an actor last month. He was talented and he was intelligent, but he wouldn't follow direction, he took it upon himself to chastise his fellow actors, and he disrespected his Stage Manager and his Director. That's not what got him fired, though; the morning after Opening Night, he wrote a harassing text to a former director, using the ( Read more... )

My Best Buddy blocked me from seeing the Story on his Instagram account. He doesn't want me or my lovely Lady Fair to see his relationship with his "special" twenty-something female friend is growing into a level where she refers to him as her "Boo ( Read more... )
