It is not an easy process letting a production company know that a show hasn’t reach our recommended threshold. However, mostly companies value the feedback or simply don’t ask for it. The following letter should serve as a template for contacting a performer when their show hasn’t met the RECOMMENDED or GOOD minimum standard.

You may want to add (but please don’t subtract) something to this. On the whole this is a bad idea. It’s better to stick to the formal & neutral tone, allowing the conversation (if any) to progress as the responder sees fit.
