| That makes sense, but unfortunately, everyone I’ve ever met who works at The Public is already quite miserable working there, so I think that boat sailed a while back (or to put it another way - everyone who was able to get new jobs has already done so). | |

| I think it is a mistake to overgeneralize about how "everyone" feels, no matter where. I know people at most levels at the Public. Some are happy, some are not. That is true pretty much anywhere and has been since I was a wee lad. I do think it is a natural thing to feel some burnout and also some frustration after doing the same thing or something similar for a long time. Perhaps that is affecting you some, too. I also think we can overgeneralize about the "hit" mentality at some non-profits that you, for whatever reason, are feeling hard it seems. It is natural for an NFP theatre executive to be pleased to see the cash flow from hit shows because it lightens the other load that is a lot less fun to carry. Yes there are non-profits in the US that routinely produce garbage calculated to bring in some good bucks, but whatever ax it is you have to grind with Oskar, it does not seem reasonable to me to look at their product over the last decade and reach the conclusion that they are trolling for hits. Perhaps you can trace through what they have staged and explain your thesis. I mean yes Fat Ham made it to Broadway but no one thought it was going to set the world on fire. What did they produce that you think is money-grubbing garbage? |

| Interesting. I haven't talked to too many people who worked there. Several years back I had a few different chances at working there that didn't pan out (I won't go into my suspicions here about why) and was bummed, but it sounds like maybe I dodged a bullet. The one woman I spoke with (one of the jobs was going to be replacing her) sounded like she had a great experience, but then I guess she wouldn't be warning a potential applicant off in that instance. | |
