'Lady in Red' gets long green

By MARY CAMERON FREY
The Chicago Sun-Times
January 28, 2004

Fresh from performing in front of 2,000 guests at the opening night of the 14th New York Cabaret Convention in the Big Apple's historic Town Hall last October, Chicago's own Shelley MacArthur wowed a sold-out crowd of 350 guests at the ''Lady in Red'' gala, which raised funds for the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago Saturday night.

Plans for headquarters revised

the Chicago Tribune

In addition to helping to finance a new home, the sale would allow the Joffrey to make its balance sheet as strong as its artistic endeavors.

Well, something is afoot in Chicago. Looks like the company is playing hardball.

This seems so illogical to me. If the parties aren't that far apart, and seems that they aren't, why did management feel the need to "lockout" the dancers while they are on unpaid leave anyway. It causes bad blood among the dancers and looks really bad to the public. It would not surprise me if this affects ticket sales. And for what?
