Dear...

So I was going to send this to the person it's about, but I decided against it. If the person it concerns finds it I have no shame about what I wrote, but I didn't see the point in sending it.

I apologize to anyone who doesn't know the situation, but I don't want to elaborate anymore than I already have in the letter below...



So I'm gonna start by saying that this is not prompted by anyone or anythign other than my personal feelings towards the situations that I have been witness to.

Concerning your departure from the RENT cast, it was on ground that I had brought to Kathy. As a director it was her job to see that the rehearsals were conducted in a way that resulted in the best final product. I had gone to her on a number of occasions explaining your unprofessional attitude towards both the cast and the creative team. I was not a part in her final decision but all I can say is that you dug your own grave. Your attitude towards your fellow cast members, outside of the few people that you attempted to drag into your mindset, was horrible. You had no respect for anyone, which was made clear the very first rehearsal. You can try and say that this was you being shy, but I'm being honest with you, so don't lie to yourself or to me. You didn't like us, and you didn't like the role you got in the show.

After the first batch of drama went down I told cast members who came to me about your attitude that we needed to try and deal with it, that we needed to overwhelm you with kindness. This was not something you allowed us to do, at any point. Your constant negative attitude in every situation I've ever been involved with you in is impossible to penetrate. I cannot imagine how hard life must be for someone who fails to see the positive in everything.

Your ability to paint yourself as a martyr is begining to fail on everyone but yourself. It's time to get over yourself, and realize who you are and what you can do. You are no more perfect or imperfect than the rest of us, you have to accept your limitations and learn to exploit your talents. You cannot keep blaiming your failures on other people. How many more places will you have to leave, how many more amazing oppertunities will you turn down or ruin for yourself before you realize that it's not the world around you that's the problem, it's you. You're the person who is ruining your chances of succeeding.

So some advice to close. Get with it. Stop feeling down on yourself, stop blaming the rest of the world for your troubles, stop turning away people that could bring you amazing things in life. You've burned every bridge here, I hope you have more success elsewhere.
