Re: [Re: RAT Reading Series --What Brecht thinks] To Dennis



Of course we all appreciate the hard work you put into your theatre. But 
you're not the only one who labors long hours to get productions up. 
 
Are they good, worthy productions at your theatre?   I confess, I'd never 
heard of your group until these Brad letters came up.

Working without pay?  Gosh, I'll bet  your theatre is the only one in America 
who does that.

Hmm, I thought theatre was all ABOUT money.   Your cohort, Brad, suggested 
that actors be paid an Equity wage, when he issued his challenge to me and 
others to make theatre.  I'd dearly love to do that, give my actors what they 
deserve, but we're in it for the work, and money is tight for playwrights who 
work part-time, like myself.  If we waited to do Equity-level shows, there'd 
be no RAT shows.

I guess you and Brad are trust fund babies.

By the way, an artistic director who cannot spell is already suspect!  Heed 
the zeitgeist!
