A bit more about the LA Theater Alliance:

A variety of Los Angeles theater industry leaders interviewed Monday said the stage alliance was already in trouble financially before the latest conflagration, and its future had seemed uncertain throughout the pandemic... And several described a number of grievances with the organization, citing insufficient diversity in its leadership and programming, an ineffective response to the pandemic, high membership dues that made it harder for some theaters to participate, and a “pay to play” system in which theaters were supposed to pay a fee for each production they wanted considered for an award.

Thanks for posting the link to Michael Paulson's N.Y. Times story, which gives a much fuller picture and makes it clear that L.A. Stage Alliance had its share of problems BEFORE the Ovation Awards. When I posted the original link to Deadline.com's more simplistic account, I suspected there had to be more to the story and that All That Chat regulars familiar with the situation, could offer more details. Thanks for your contributions to this thread!

(On occasion, I've seen the L.A. Times' Charles McNulty post on All That Chat. I wonder if he'll weigh in on this, too!)
