Dance of the IRS accountants
An interpretive dance of the IRS coming for ODC.The term "starving artist" is proof you can get away with choosing art over regular meals. But don't ever choose art over paying your taxes.
To the surprise of a lot of people, Salt Lake's Odyssey Dance Theatre and its artistic director owe the IRS $700,000 in payroll taxes and penalties.
Artist director Derryl Yeager explains it was a "no brainer" to stiff the IRS:It was either pay dancers who had been in rehearsal for six weeks, or pay the IRS, who don't really care.
Meanwhile, I doubt Derryl's lawyer is making a lot of points with the IRS with this defense:
Derryl is Derryl. He's a dance guy, not a financial guy.

I take it that Derryl isn't gay...or Glen would be demanding the IRS look the other way!
