This is a terrible response to an artist with a serious health problem. I would like to see you bring this to the attention of NAIA (National Association of Independent Artists), because this behavior on the part of a show should be brought to widespread attention-and giving the show director a chance to defend his or her behavior. NAIA can help be an advocate for artists who are caught in difficult situations.
