News from a dying theatre.

Oct 27, 2004 00:00

Today was a big day for me theatre-wise. It was officially announced to the world that the GSU theatre program was cut. However, some GSU theatre kids showed up to protest and question the decision. See their exploits here ( Read more... )

Just to clarify I'm excited about Hair not the budget cuts at GSU.

Is that quote on Ray accurate????

He knew this was going to happen.

Not when they told him. Yesterday, he knew. But until a couple of weeks ago, he thought they were safe. Trust me, for the past few years, there's been rumours of budget cuts and the possible eventual cancellation, but this year's announcement was unexpected. There were no discussions, there was no big warning, they just told him two weeks ago that his department was gone in less than three years.

that is all pretty sad, culturally-wise that'll just hurt everyone. i am sorry. if i was a rich guy who was gonna die soon i would give my money there. . but i'm not a rich guy nor am i dying, so in a pathetic attempt at weird happy stuff - steven has updated me on your updates. so, we're working on locating a care bear for you (i think there is sleepy bear whose blue, and like tenderheart (whose kinda brownish orange) and mabye sunshine bear, grumpy bear and i think two pink ones. we want you to pick out the bear and if you want the bear to bond with Andrew's and my bear which are both currently residing in my room or if you would just like the bear ASAP sent to you. . also you win for realizing you don't always have to trust what i say i do have a weird sense of logic but you are cool. and i'm driving through the big Atl tommorow and coming back on sat. so i'll wave to you and say hello there. . sorry i couldn't actually stop and say hello but you seem to have a pretty darn busy schedule. so i figure it would be hard to catch up ( ... )

What's worse is that they've said that even if they had the money, they probably wouldn't keep the department.

And have fun for the brief time you are in Atlanta and not leaving your car.

Though I am free almost all day Saturday if you want to stop and say hello.
