I was thinking abt this list when I saw that a particularly....challenging actor had been hired at a theater in PA and wanted to discretely figure out if I could warn the SM - I can't affect her casting (I don't find the actor so freakin' amazing but CDs and directors seem to be sucked in), but I wrestled with it being only fair to give the SM a heads up of what was coming their way -
of course, better judgment won out, and I must hope this person will shoot themselves in the foot and/or finally learn some difficult but vital lessons BUT it is so tempting to share this info.
Which is why this blacklist being completely private is so vital. It is not my places to destroy someone's career before they start, and everyone deserves a second chance and maybe even a third (we all have bad days - yes, even SMs).
