Arclight Theatre Michael Griffiths Abusive, Manipulative, Drunk theatre manager/owner who extorts money New York, New York
The Arclight Theatre located in NYC is a beautiful theatre space. Unfortunatley the management makes this beautiful space a living H**L!
Michael the alcoholic manager/owner of the space is verbally abusive and has threatened physical violence to members of the theatre company that rented this space.
He extorts money and enforces arbitary rules which only he knows and then punishes you for breaking the "rules" by turning of the power to the theatre. It was only after enduring a verbal beat down that we got the power restored and the show could go on.
The theatre is poorly maintined with hundreds of roaches in the public and backstage areas and there is a persvasve smell of urine throught out the entire theatre that even after numerous sprayings of febreeze you could not get rid of. Props and other items have gone missing and cigerette butts have been mashed into the carpeting and the floor of the theatre.
NEVER rent this theatre for any theatrical production it is quite literally a h**l on earth! (Ironically located in the basement of a Catholic Church!!)
