      <![CDATA[Let's be real for a minute....Anyone who stayed on on as a dancer or otherwise after the first round of full board resignation last February followed by evacuation by the rest of the staff shortly thereafter should have had the good sense to get the 'hell out of dodge' a year ago. They certainly had the opportunity.

      <![CDATA[As a bemused bystander knowing absolutely nothing about running an artisitic endeavor, but with over 30 years experience in business I have a question: If CBT were producing a product wanted and enjoyed by an adequate number of patrons, would they not eliminate financial problems? Or conversely, perhaps they cannot find the financial support necessary because their product is not one that is widely enjoyed?<br>
Perhaps it is not a matter of finding blame or pointing fingers, but of facing the realizations, however cruel and painful they are, that their production is one that Charleston is not willing to support.

      <![CDATA[Thank you David for having the courage to say what we have all known. If history serves as an example Jill will probably try to sue us all for slander in some sad attempt to blame someone else.

      <![CDATA[DY - you are incorrect & should not criticize the boards unless you stood beside them in the meetings and worked the long hard hours into the wee hours of the morning as they did, only to be berated by Jill, Patty & the general public for even being involved with the organization, giving up time with their family to do this. They did not walk away & I know this first hand.

      <![CDATA[Board of Directors have power over the employees of the organization the have assumed the responsibility for. The boards could have fired Jill & Patty and kept Don, who was the original owner/founder (buyer) of the Charleston Ballet long before he married Patty and even longer before Jill came into the picture.<br>
Shall we continue - or would you like to meet for lunch and try to figure a way to help the dancers out?

      <![CDATA[All the ideas of "local arts are alive and well", marketing,  or the dubious, "dancers should form their own company" (a naive but great idea that has been tried as many times as it has failed, thus, borders upon delusional in not understanding that these artists are full time -professional- dancers....not amateurs diddling around in a garage loaned by someone's dad!). <br>
<br>
The long and short of it is this and only this: Dancers and artists are always the ones who get the blame and the shaft!
