Re: “Burning Down the House”
I, Lauren Leinhaas-Cook, hereby declare that I will not support The Firehouse Theatre Project in any way until Carol Androski Piersol is reinstated as Founding Artistic Director and FTP’s original mission is fully restored. I will not perform for, attend events or donate to this company until these things occur. I urge you to weigh the facts of this matter and if after doing so you agree that an egregious wrong was done to Carol Piersol by the Firehouse Theatre Project Board in forcing her retirement from FTP in the manner it was accomplished, and if you want to see the Firehouse Theatre Project restored to its former artistic state, please stand with me.
