When complaints arise, the law -- and principles of best practices -- require management to address these situations promptly and fairly. Our panel of experienced employment lawyers will discuss best practices you should follow in establishing appropriate policies before incidents occur. Should you have written policies? What specific concepts should they address? Our panel will also provide practical advice for handling allegations of harassment when they occur. What immediate actions should you take? How do you accommodate the rights of privacy of the complainant, alleged harasser, and any witnesses. How do you respond to requests for information from those not involved? Audience interaction and questions are welcome and encouraged. Program Agenda I. Introduction (Jan Feldman) II. General Legal Background (Steve Gillman) III.

  • STATEMENT of PRINCIPLE No One Should Be Forced to Choose

    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.

    SLOW FOOD ESL Federal Credit Union 2019-2020 Season Continues with a Crave-Able Comedy to Warm up the Winter

    Media Contact: Dawn Kellogg Communications Manager (585) 420-2059 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GEVA’S 47TH SEASON CONTINUES WITH SLOW FOOD ESL Federal Credit Union 2019-2020 Season continues with a crave-able comedy to warm up the winter. Rochester, N.Y., December 27, 2019 – Geva Theatre Center presents Slow Food, by Wendy MacLeod and directed by Skip Greer, in the Elaine P. Wilson Stage from January 14 through February 9. Peter and Irene’s anniversary celebration in Palm Springs is off to a rocky start, but they are looking forward to a nice meal in a local restaurant. It’s just their luck to be served (or not) by a perfectionist waiter who won’t bring them their food and has them questioning everything – from their menu selections to the state of their marriage. Wendy MacLeod’s play The House of Yes became an award-winning Miramax film starring Parker Posey. Her other plays include Sin (The Goodman, Second Stage), Schoolgirl Figure (The Goodman Theatre), The Water Children and Juvenilia (Playwrights Horizons), and Things Being What They Are (Seattle Repertory Theatre, Steppenwolf Theatre). Her play Find and Sign premiered at the Pioneer Theater in Salt Lake City and her play This Flight Tonight was included in Standing On Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays and seen across the country and in New York City at the Minetta Lane. She was the first playwright chosen for The Writers’ Room residency at The Arden Theatre in Philadelphia, where she wrote Women in Jeopardy!, which received its premiere production at Geva Theatre Center in 2015.
