This is old news, but I just learned about it.
Holy cats!People accused me of creating pointless drama when I stormed out of the troupe I once loved, that was started by a woman I once called "friend", an hour prior to another holiday performance years before. (Nevermind that several other troupe jumped ship that night as well.) I admit I was a diva about the situation, but the working environment really was unbearable.
I wish this were surprising. Oh well. It explains why I am so reluctant to go back to doing burlesque.
