OH, THAT’S RIGHT.  THESE GUYS WERE A THING.

Apparently, it’s been over a year since Theatre de la Jeune Lune closed its doors because “the powers that be spoke with their silence”.  You can read the recent Strib article or just take a look at these highlights:

“Jeune Lune is missing, but nobody is going to step into that place,” said Berlovitz, who completed a $25,000 Fox fellowship and has taught at Augsburg, Carleton and the University of Minnesota. “What we did is very specific to us because we had been a company that had worked together for 30 years.”
Serrand, who sometimes threatened to take the company to Berlin and who, along with Gracieux, was knighted by the French government, said he could not have imagined how difficult it would be to find work.
“These 14 months have been awful, horrendous,” he said. “I’ve always worked, and now I’m an unemployed actor. It’s very difficult to deal with.”
That the company collapsed just before the U.S. economy went into a tailspin made it even harder, said Epp. “My huge reputation hasn’t added up to much,” he said.

And they wonder why nobody came to their rescue.  These guys could put up a show called Feeding the Homeless While Taking Care of Malnourished Puppies and still figure out a way to come off like pompous assholes.
