To: Eric Dillner and the Skylight Board
Leslie Fitzwater is withdrawing from the Johnson Bank cabaret entitled, “Mixed Nuts – Lightly Salted”. I am not withdrawing with regret or sadness – I withdraw in fury and disgust. The hostile environment toward artists, staff, patrons and donors created by the current Skylight Administration, has made it impossible for James and me to create a show in which we joyfully reminisce about our years at the Skylight. I will not waste my efforts telling you what the Skylight has meant to me, you do not deserve my eloquence. James and I ask that you immediately remove our names, the title of the cabaret and it’s description from all publicity materials, whether it is printed or on-line.

ReplyDeleteLove you, Leslie. I'm sorry this situation has come to all this. All you artists are wonderful.
