Adam is prepping a production of Little Shop on which he's assisting choreographer Peggy Hickey. I wrote a long and strong note to the person who runs the theater who, by the way, is taking NO responsibility for any of it - in fact, he had a little attitude when we spoke, but I'm here to tell you playing room was discussed and understood and risers were never mentioned EVER. That, I'm afraid, is the bottom line here - if risers facing at odd angles and leaving no flat playing area had been mentioned that day I would not have booked AND PAID FOR the theater. It's really that simple. He says we should have come by to look a week or two ago, and I say who cares - they wouldn't have let me out of the deal at that point because they would say they'd already turned down other shows, so one way or another I'd have been stuck. If I could make a change NOW I would - I would ask LACC if we could use their black box theater and I'd do it there, but even though we have all the e-mail addresses of those attending, to change at this late date (IF LACC said yes, which is not a certainty) I think we'd lose people left and right who'd just be confused. So, we'll stay and do whatever we need to do, but it will not look like I want it to, and certainly not like what Adam wants it to. It really could not be worse, in fact. If you saw it, you'd know exactly what I mean.
