The closing night statement followed other complaints raised by cast members just days earlier in March. Caldwell, also speaking during the salon, said she had never had an experience where a cast had to stick up for each other so much before working on “The Great Khan.” "First of all, we're very proud of the production of 'The Great Khan,' particularly of the work of the company, was a first rate production,” Woodhouse said in a prepared statement. “I can say we remain committed to our mission to create work that promotes an interconnected community, nourishes progressive values, and celebrates diverse voices.

The Rep, which Woodhouse co-founded with Douglas Jacobs in 1976, has produced more than 300 plays to date. But the future of the Rep is uncertain. Not only is it facing a financial crisis that threatens its return to being a vibrant part of the San Diego theater scene but it also faces a tarnishing of its legacy and reputation as an arts organization that has always presented itself as a place for diversity where community voices can be heard.
