Good grief. Glad they (presumably) caught the clown.

I know... just ridiculous.

That is most definitely not how theatre drama is supposed to work!

Thanks, Susan!! I appreciate you're sharing this. As part of the Seattle theater community for a long time, I was horrified. For god's sake, it was "ANNIE"! The threat was against IATSE members of the crew (anti-union sentiment, I suspect). I'm glad they have the person who made the threats in custody.

The director of the show, Billie Wildrick and the actors playing Daddy Warbucks and Miss Hannigan are friends of mine. Cynthia lives a few blocks from me here in Minneapolis. I'm sure it cost The 5th Avenue Theatre a lot of money to do the right thing and cancel the performance.
