Mad Cow Theatre finally cleared the debts owed to our artists after months of us refusing to stay silent. Their pattern of exploitation ends here because we forced them to pay up. Keep watching them closely because we will not tolerate this behavior ever again.

I add my name to this list as an individual who has personally been a victim of breach of contract in the past from Mad Cow Theatre. Whether eventually received or not, I was not paid on time for my services rendered. I further affirm that do not believe that this pattern of behavior has been resolved to my satisfaction. As a former or current employee/contractor and member of the Orlando theatrical community, I demand that the following actions be taken:
1) All current delinquent payments to Artists be paid immediately
2) The guilty party(ies) be held accountable for their illegal actions
3) Systems be put in place to ensure this NEVER happens again
Until these conditions are met, I will be boycotting Mad Cow Theatre and encouraging others to do the same.

The silence from Mad Cow Theatre management is deafening while they continue to ignore the artists they have cheated. I am currently compiling a file of these stories to ensure their patterns of exploitation are dragged into the light once and for all.

Received late paycheck for costume design in 2014. I believe the only reason I was eventually paid is because I was designing a second production there, and would not relinquish the costumes until I was paid.
Worked as an overhired carpenter during the 2012 season. My paychecks were always late and at times less than the full amount, and even then it was only because of the dogged daily reminders from me and my fellow builders. I am convinced that we would not have been paid at all had we not approached as a group with our grievances.
My company, Max Merchandising, created a line of T-shirts and other items that Mad Cow sold their audience members. We never got paid for the merchandise. Unacceptable.
I received delinquent payments during Sunday in the Park with George in which I was a performer as well as during The Letters for which I was a costumer. I am payed in full, but have always entered into work at Mad Cow hesitantly on account of their history of delinquent or non-payment.
Christmas Cabaret, Major Barbara, Assassins, Forbidden Broadway, Company, to name a few. The last show I did at Mad Cow, I didn't get paid until over 9 months after the show closed. I called. I emailed. I was roundly ignored until I threatened legal action. Completely demoralizing experience.
I worked at Mad Cow over a month or so ago and never received payment. Never returned because I heard these (true) rumors. It's sad.
Received payment for two shows I did, two years after I did them.

I was PSM for "The Brother's Size" summer 2016 and still have yet to be paid the remainder of my contractual fee. I can be reached by my information still on file with the company.
