Charlotte St. Martin needs to go
Sign change.org petition above.
Charlotte St. Martin runs The Broadway League, the National Trade Organization for the Broadway Theater Industry, 700 plus members including theater owners, operators, producers, presenters and general managers.
Broadway accounts for more than 14.7 Billion Dollars per year to the economy of New York and supports over 96,000 jobs including ancillary industries like restaurants, hotels and general NYC tourism.
While Ms. St. Martin is responsible for the protocols the industry has adapted for the return of the Broadway industry and its audience, it is evident that the systems are not working and the spread of the Omicron variant is running rampant through our community.
Shows are shutting minutes before curtain because actors and crew are becoming sick which is bad enough, but when that occurs, the economics of our industry and the financials of NY, as a whole, suffer.
And adding insult to illness, not only is she unable to effectively lead the industry to a confident return, she has maintained despite her tenure, that this is not an industry in which she is familiar, and insults the very workers who are, despite their health risks, allowing her to keep her $500,000 a year, salaried position.
We, the undersigned, implore The Broadway League to relieve Ms. St. Martin of her duties and hire someone who understands it, and the impact the decisions the position makes on the literal and figurative health of its community, its economy and New York tourism.
Thank you.
