And finally, in my most recent announcement, I erroneously reported that we were losing our Technical Director, Donnie Ratliff to the Ft. Wayne Jazz Ballet, as he takes the role of the supporting lead, one of the evil step-sisters, in their production of the ballet, Cinderella on Ice. Well, wouldn’t you know, some folks believed that report and were very concerned about Donnie’s potential departure.
To be honest, just as many were upset about Donnie leaving as they were about us needing to reschedule Leann’s concert. Well rest assured, Donnie is not leaving the Murphy Theatre for the Ft. Wayne Ballet. He’ll tell you it just didn’t work out, that he had a change of heart, but those in the know might tell you something different, as in it turns out the Ft. Wayne Ballet has a strict “No Emotional Support Dogs with the Dancers” policy. My apologies for causing such a stir.
