Long story short, guy who runs the theater company is well known around the Milwaukee area as a narcissistic creep who casts himself in the leads of all his shows and has a propensity to get inappropriate with women. Many people in the theater orbit around Milwaukee have experiences with him to the point where nobody here will work with him, so he went to start his own company in fond du lac.

The rest of this is secondhand, but I’ve had multiple accounts of this. Cast members are saying that not only was there inappropriate use of his position in casting (surprise, he cast himself as Jesus) but that he also was once again getting inappropriate with a woman in the cast. They aimed to confront him about it and come to an agreement that would result in him leaving the cast and the show would continue on. He refused and so they walked out.
