Head closing doors.....

LSJ has this: The decision was made at a board meeting Tuesday; staff was notified Wednesday afternoon. As of Friday, all employees will be laid off, although some, including executive director John Dale Smith, will be working in a volunteer capacity. "This is a business necessity brought on by years of productions that often exceeded the financial and market capacity," said Kelly Rossman-McKinney, chief executive officer of The Rossman Group, speaking on behalf of the theater. "They're often playing to a half-empty house and it's not a model they can sustain anymore."
I hope my friends left there will be okay.
