Sending a letter to local One is as useless as a screen door on a submarine
Save your postage.
As people have already said, of the kids walking away crying haven't done anything then what will a bunch of complaints from teens/adults do? A friend of mine works down there and he has said the hardest part was just watching the little kids walk away crying. Like someone has said, they already know the amount of people this is effecting. There's no need for this. It's not going to settle the matter.
I myself have not bought ticket's to anything recently knowing this would eventually take place. I'll wait until a new contract is formed before I purchase a ticket.

I am flying in from Denver on Dec. 5th. Already have my plane ticket so I can't change plans. Am supposed to see "August: Osage County" on Dec. 6th. I didn't buy any more tickets knowing a strike was looming. And for the record, I think there are "issues" on both sides of this. No one side is right in my opinion.

Good idea StageFan. See Die Mommie Die instead!
There are shows that are not affected by the strike. I have tixs for Legally Blond for 11/18.

Despite the fact this is pointless-
A Chorus Line 11/10- refunded
The Little Mermaid 11/18
Spring Awakening 12/9
Who knows if this will help,
I have 2 tickets to Cyrano de Bergerac for the November 21 evening performance.
I can understand one having a pov because they are involved directly with the situation or have truly informed themselves of all the facts.
But what's annoying are all the people who have adopted stances, some downright hateful, JUST because they aren't getting to see their favorite show. Some even abandoning their usual stances and logic on these issues.
It's amazing how so many people claim to love theatre, but can't have more respect for the people who make that theatre happen.

Okay, it's official.
Everyone here is oblivious.
Don't you people actually realize that writing letters won't help? Everyone involved already knows of the consequences. Telling them again is a gross waste of time and postage.

Please tell me that you're kidding. This is about FAR bigger things than inconveniencing those of you who have tickets to shows. It has already been announced that refunds and exchanges will be made available.
You being pissed that you've missed your show isn't going to help solve anything.
And I second everything jerby just said -- especially this:
It's amazing how so many people claim to love theatre, but can't have more respect for the people who make that theatre happen.
If in Heaven you don't excel, you can always party down in hell...
Everyone with tickets can get a refund. Thousands of us are out of work. So, some of you can just climb down off that crucifix--somebody needs the wood.

Quit boo-hooing...get your refunds. They obviously know what they are doing. It may have shocked the average joe, but that's probably what they were going for.
They KNOW already.
They are picketing in front of the theatres where they meet their audiences FACE TO FACE...EVERY SHOW...and see the children crying and the adults pissed off.
You're gonna send a letter with a list of BWW names? That is SO less significant than what they're seeing on the picket lines.
Apparently people don't grasp the fact they the union knows exactly what they are doing.
For those who are local, just exchange them for a later date. It's not like you can't get back to see it ever.
what's the good about sending a letter? Will that stop the strike?
