I’m fascinated by the recent trend in rejection letters from theatres. The first paragraph is all “we love it” and “we think x, y, and z are great”. But then comes the second paragraph where seemingly due to a force of nature or the vagaries of fate or the caprice of Apollo they couldn’t possible do the play.
Well, asshats, go make your sacrifices to Apollo and get back to me.

@beatnikprof right? I’m getting the same. “This was such a strong application. The show sounded really good… but aaaahh, shame your name begins with L and we only commission artists whose first name begins in r-h-g, also we had stronger applications by artists who wrote their pitch in sanscrit and promised us pizza… but honestly your show sounds so good, sooo good we’re killing ourselves that we can’t have you…”

Honestly? How about some remotely useful feedback?
