Artist-Management Showdown Over Future Of Milwaukee’s Skylight

“Management of the Skylight Opera Theatre” – controversial managing (and now artistic) director Eric Dillner and a brand-new interim board chairman – “met with dissident artists Friday morning to open another chapter in the controversy that began with the firing of artistic director William Theisen on June 16.” None of the artists, including a number of company stars, “showed any inclination to return to the fold as long as Dillner is in place.”
