…grab some salt, tequila and have a party!
Well, hell. The rights for “Equus” have been pulled, and we can’t do the show. I am disappointed, as is the cast, but everything happens for a reason. Why do we only use that bit of rationalization when something bad happens?
So, it’s onward and upward. I figure we had two choices: go hide under a rock and lick our wounds until “Lear,” or shrug it off with a “Shit happens,” let go of the “coulda, woulda, shoulda,” roll up our sleeves and find something else. Which is exactly what we did.
I must extend kudos to the amazing group of people we have. So far, everyone involved in “Equus” has agreed to be part of whatever it is we decide to do instead. I am grateful for your friendship, loyalty and faith in us.
To those who were “scared” of a community theatre company taking on “Equus:” put your fears to rest. Better yet, find something more important to worry about, like global warming or the price of tea in China.
To those who posted on the Beehive and supported us: stay tuned for something wonderful…
To the haters who are rubbing their hands together with glee at our little setback: what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.
