  • Non-Equity Jeff Award Nominations Rescinded for the Hypocrites
    Editor’s Note: The complete list of Non-Equity Jeff Awards nominees follows this release and is also available on-line in the News and Events section at www.jeffawards.org. Non-Equity Jeff Award Nominations Rescinded for The Hypocrites Additional Nominations Announced Saturday, April 25, 2015 - Chicago, IL. Early Friday, April 24, 2015, Sean Graney, who recently returned to Chicago to resume his post as Artistic Director of The Hypocrites, informed the Joseph Jefferson Awards Committee that he just learned the theater company had been operating under an Equity CAT-N contract for the duration of the 2014-2015 Non-Equity season. Over the past year, requests for judging its productions were made to the Non-Equity Wing without the committee having knowledge of the company’s Equity status. The Jeff Committee was aware that two of the productions had Equity performers (as indicated in the program); however, the committee has now confirmed that these were not guest contracts. As such, the company’s productions are not eligible for consideration in the Non- Equity Wing, and all related Non-Equity Jeff Award nominations have been rescinded. The productions in question will be shifted to the Equity Wing for awards consideration during its current season, which commenced on August 1, 2014 and will end on July 30, 2015. A revised listing of nominees follows for the 2014-2015 Non-Equity Jeff Awards. 2015 NON-EQUITY JEFF AWARD NOMINEES PRODUCTION - PLAY "Exit Strategy" - Jackalope Theatre Company "The Jungle" - Oracle Productions "Men Should Weep" - Griffin Theatre Company "Monstrous Regiment" - Lifeline Theatre "Ruined" - Eclipse Theatre Company" PRODUCTION - MUSICAL "Assassins" - Kokandy Productions "The Full Monty" - Kokandy Productions "Jesus Christ Superstar" - Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre "Titanic" - Griffin Theatre Company "The Wild Party" - Bailiwick Chicago PRODUCTION - REVUE "Always..

  • STATEMENT of PRINCIPLE No One Should Be Forced to Choose
    STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE No one should be forced to choose between her personal safety and dignity, and her job. But too often in the theater community this is exactly the choice that women must make. Sexual discrimination and harassment and gender-based violence often occur in the intimate and physical context of a theater production. Victims of such conduct face a stark choice between continuing to work in close collaboration with their abuser and quitting the show. Few can afford to give up a job and lose not only income, but also the opportunity for career advancement. There is a sense in the community that it is not necessarily in a victim’s best interest to report abuse because of fear that the response will be insufficient and open her up to retribution. In addition, many instances of abuse happen outside of the physical boundaries of a theater. No theater, union or guild currently takes responsible for handling such cases. However, the two people involved will most likely have to work together the next day or in another production, and the victims are left to deal with the aftermath by themselves. In the face of these realities, victims often choose silence and the abuse is allowed to continue. It is time for the theater community to break its own silence on harassment and abuse and formally address the problem. The reality is that those who behave abusively are generally in positions of power. Artistic directors hold the power to employ, playwrights have hiring approval; removing a director mid-rehearsal puts an entire production in doubt; losing a celebrity from the cast hurts ticket sales.

Nonpartisanship is a cornerstone principle that has strengthened the public’s trust of the charitable community. In exchange for enjoying tax-exempt status and the ability to receive tax-deductible contributions, 501(c)(3) organizations – charitable nonprofits, including religious congregations, and foundations – agree to not engage in “any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” That provision of law protects the integrity and independence of charitable nonprofits and foundations.
