Vendetta against Anna Scher must stop now
Mind in Tower Hamlet Members Forum | 22.12.2004 00:34 | Education | Health | Indymedia | London
Service users from Mind in Tower Hamlets members forum will be organising protests against the board of trustees and management at the Anna Scher theatre 70-72 Barnsbury Road, Islington, London N1 0ES, Telephone 020 7278 2101, Fax 020 7833 9467, email
info@astm.co.uk throughout 2005 due to their continued discrimination over the mental health issue.
We shall be contacting all service users forums at Mind throughout the UK to organise protests outside the theatre and any other organiseations who have dealings with anyone who's been a patient in hospital or in the community with an on going depressive illness to stand by Anna Scher seeing that an attack on one is an attack on us all.
Not at any time have the board of trustees pointed out why they no longer wished to be associated with Anna Scher since her full recovery back in 2001 or as to why they continue to discriminate on the grounds of ones health.
We have been informed that none of those currently on the board of trustees live in the Islington area and not one hold a degree which would entitle them to make a diagnoses on another persons health, so how is it that these trustees and their sidekicks in the office at 70-72 Barnsbury Road have been able to get away with what they have been doing to the founder of the theatre?
We call on anyone and everyone who has ever had the misfortune of suffering a breakdown or mental incapacity to telephone, Fax, email, send letters to this theatre and its staff/trustees who continue their vendetta against Anna Scher and to organise and march/protest against such discrimination for if one is discriminated against then we are all discriminated against.

Large scale organisations such as Mind UK service users will be turning up to add their voices to the many supporters of Anna Scher and we hope our friends at Mad Pride and all the samba bands show up to make as much noise as possible and if those of us who really want Anna back in the theatre where she belongs then we shall invade the meeting and disrupt the goings on until everything is done and scrutinised by the public.

Vendetta against Anna Scher must stop now.
I overheard a conversation in the pub last Friday giving it large yet where were you when this all started?
To the young lady who said she was only in Anna's class to get on Eastenders, well your more likely to get in Eastenders if you go to a class where there are agents on site rather than in a class where no agent exists at all.
There has also been some of you who feel that Anna isn't actually interested in the theatre at all on Barnsbury Road but getting our money to visit her friends around the world like ole Dessie Tutu.
Finally, I'm not going to be used in a battle between Anna Scher and the board of trustees, Anna was advised as to how to proceed in her campaign and didn't want to listen to a word of it as was well viewed by many in her class last Friday night, I have no faith in any demonstration outside the theatre or anywhere else and if anyone can then please explain what anyone will achieve by protesting against the board when the result will remain the same (Anna Scher and Co will be suspended from the board) so all those to stupid to realise what a section 1/8a is when it comes to company law then go down to Companies House and check out what Articles of Association is?
If those of you out there can't put your own names to postings then don't put mine or you'll be the one's being heckled not the board.

Those of you who are on the verge of wising up to whats going on around you in the exiled class may well think that paying a fiver to do less than 2 minutes on an impro just isn't worth the money and so to those of you wanting a change to something where you'll have the oppertunity of joining an agency and a class where you'll learn all the things you need to learn about being an actor you should email
