As long as the reasons are about Kauffman's schedule, I am firmly in opposition of them putting the season on hiatus for her or her being employed in this position.
Do they not think it's "problematic" to take away 1-3 productions (it's been so long I can't remember how many or normally done for Off-Center) that would employee artists (performers, designers etc) and crew to accommodate and bend around the schedule of one director, a working director ... especially after TWO YEARS of no theater work? Beyond the money it's also taking opportunity and visibility and career growth and exposure away from these artists who would have been employed do this season of Off-Center.
It's unfair, irresponsible, and frankly abhorrent... *if* her schedule is the reason or even one of the reasons.
