Has the chicken lost its head?

No sooner did ABT post Stella Abrera as the new Caroline in Jardin aux Lilas, they erased her from that cast and the Fancy Free cast the following night.  Totally erased from the Washington DC run – but of course she's still listed on the Kennedy Center website.  Good grief, Charlie Brown!

Clearly the next Artistic Director of ABT needs to be a clear-thinking woman who is allergic to flip-flopping, preferrably one who runs a successful psychiatric booth. 

We're never going to get another ballerina out of that company unless a woman takes over.  Wonder if Nina would be interested?  Or maybe Makarova would take it as a caretaker for a year or two while the company searches for a new permanent director.  Monica Mason is way too young to retire.  Bring her over here for a few well-paid years. What about a year or two of Brigitte Lefevre?  Or Karen Kain?  The women of the world are holding the great ballet companies together.  Bring us a woman director at ABT before it's too late!
