Brouhaha or foofaraw at San Diego Junior Theatre?
Don: I would like to make a quick correction to your comment. None of the concerned parents called the police at any time. Only the Board used the police and armed security gaurds against their critics. I would also like to clarify that it was never just the Valenti's against the Board. We did become very involved but were responding to hundreds of concerned members of the community who signed a petition asking for a meeting, transparency or any information from the Board of Trustees. I agree the Board and Mr. Saba should resign. I also agree that none of those involved in any way should be on the new board. We need a fresh start for JT with neutral, competent and caring board members.— May 1, 2017 4:13 p.m.
Brouhaha or foofaraw at San Diego Junior Theatre?
It's interesting that Gil Cabrera wants to wash his hands (and name) of the events he helped to orchestrate at Junior Theatre. The community was told several times that we should trust the Board and trust JT's lawyer since he was representing Junior Theatre "pro bono". Pro bono means more than free legal counsel. It means working "for the good". Concerned parents, donors, volunteers and children were told that everything was being done thoughtfully, carefully and with the organization and children as top priorities. If this is true why will Mr. Cabrera refuse to speak? It is time for him to stand behind his actions and those of the Board whom he was overseeing. If the Board and Mr. Cabrera continue to hide in silence people may be interested in contacting Edward Cramp, the managing partner at Duane Morris, who conducted the "independent investigation". He surely must be able to stand behind his work. Mr, Cabrera has happy to use his name and stature to intimidate and silence those who dared question the Board. His silence now speaks volumes. Our civic leaders must demand transparency from the Junior Theatre Board of Trustees and it's outside council.— May 1, 2017 7:47 a.m.
