Lee Trull Accused of Misconduct
TheaterJones: In the Dallas Theater Center’s early seasons at the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, which opened in 2009, a Southern Methodist University student who performed at the theater says that Lee Trull, then a DTC casting director and a Hal and Diane Brierley Resident Acting Company member, repeatedly harassed her.

This was a very strange article to read. I ran wardrobe on a show Lee Trull was in once and had almost exactly the same experiences as many of these women. It was not a pleasant time, but I did not report anything. I am now examining myself about why I didn’t say anything. First, I don’t know who I would have reported to. A stage manager? In some ways it was flattering to have all the attention. I never felt unsafe, just not in control. I think that is part of this murky area. Women are used to unwanted advances and deciding when that moment is that it is no longer “ok” is difficult.
I also now understand why there are strings of sexual harassment reports after one person comes forward. Just hearing all of these other stories seems to validate my own experiences. I didn’t forget what happened, but I did downplay how inappropriate the situation was.
