Dear folks,

I had to send this note out tonight, and I think it can inform you about the show we were so excited about.
I'm very sorry.

Cheryl and Bob,

Despite our best efforts, we will have to cancel our show this weekend, Porno: The Variety Show. I can't tell you how disappointed and chagrined I am to have to tell you this.

After casting difficulties, we had an integral member of our original play, J. Edgar Gets Married, diagnosed with cancer--for the third time in their short life. Then, when we decided to carry on, further setbacks came from people who had committed--but not really, it seems. Philip Hooser is broken up about this, as well as loyal cast members Bob Kohler, Dan Barnett, Jeph Scanlon, and Sherri Eberhart.

We deeply regret not having a show to fill the space, as well as feel personal disappointments on ourselves. We know the position we have put you in and regret this the most.

I will do what's necessary to spread the word.

Patrick
