There seems to be a lot of blame throwing and he said she said in this case. Now I do not know who is to blame however, my question is, is that if Teer's children saw this happening why didnt they do anything to stop it? It is hard enough to keep any theatre alive nowadays, and debt, and loans and cutting down on shows is happening all around the country. It is sad that a theatre with such a rich history is now facing getting shut down and all of these horrible things, but sadly this is happening more and more. But throughout the article it gets said that these partners have been giving problems from the start. Even though Ms Teer tried to do that, it was unfortunate that she died before any of this could come to a conclusion. It seems that there is no way out for this respected company and that is truly very sad, and I hope that Teer's children can find some way of carrying on her legacy.
