Their Response

I didn't think that I would get a response after sending the message I pasted in "The Days of Gone" but I went to view my email today and there it was--THEIR RESPONSE.

It READ:

This comes to us as a shock and makes us question how committed you were and are to this play.  See, this wasn't going to be the only show and after not getting to do this particular show date it is a let down to us as a whole, not just you all as cast members.  The way I see it is that every set back is a set up for a come back and God has a plan for everything.  He doesn't make any mistakes and the couple people that were supposedly supported you and us really wasn't doing that.  Yes, were are re-casting (if you will starting over), but it is deemed necessary and the committed people have stepped forward.  I doubt that it will take 3 mos to get the show on the road, however you are entitled to your own opinion.  You of all people was the one that we felt really cared about his character the most and understood that the casting change was necessary.  One person loss don't make or break you they only make you stronger (ie Righteous-Jonathan).  The thing that puzzles me the most is that we stated that this will be our first show and it will be more shows afterward, however everyone seem to have treated this show as the only and last one.  We will prevail and trust me if one is committed one will see everything to the end.  One thing for sure is that; that don't kill me will only make me stronger and I stand up high with God in the midst.  We are truly hurt that you have decided not to be committed for the long haul.  My son, patience is a virtue.  Maybe one day life lessons will prevail in your favor and allow you to see that there are growing pains when you are on the move to something that is great.  Good luck!

That was it--there were sooooo many things in their response that pissed me off yet I felt no need to respond to it. And in the last few lines I could tell that they took this thing very personally and I hate for people to treat me as though I don't know what I'm doing or as if I'm not heading down the right path. "Maybe one day life lessons will prevail in your favor and allow you to see that there are growing pains." NUMBER ONE--they have not the slightest idea as to what I have gone through in my life. I know good and well what growing pains are--hell i've had them since I started pursuing the entertainment industry--there are so many disappointments that I have faced--way too many to count on BOTH hands and the failure of this play was one of them. They just have no idea how EXPERIENCED I am with the pursuit of a dream and it being snatched from you mercilessly by the powers that be--WHATEVER or WHOEVER THEY ARE!!! That's what I would have loved to say to them but instead I simply bit back rage and uncontrollable words and replied "Thank you."
