betrayal

I'm sure you've done your research.

I'm sure your acting coach's instructions to "diversify your stage experience" will help you improve your resume.

Help YOU (singular) improve YOUR (singular) resume.

And maybe you are right.

But it flies in the face of everything I believe and have experienced about ensemble.

And it feels like a knife in the back and a kick in the ass to me.

ME (singular) who helped YOU a lot.

But, apparently, I haven't done enough for you lately, for you to remember that WE trumps YOU or ME in theatre art.
