Good interview. I still don’t really understand her giving up her Equity card, though. I think she could have made the same points she made in that interview without it.
Based on that interview it doesn’t seem like her decision had anything to do with the incident at Hadestown at all.
I get cutting back to save some $$$, but I would assume her equity dues wouldn't be that much for someone like her?
I do not understand her reasoning for giving up the card……could someone fill me in.
I guess if she thinks the union no longer supports actors it makes sense. What are the dues?

By the by….Patti sounds great in the new American Horror Story: NYC…has anyone watched?
Geez...I feel like ever time I read a different article, she's throwing out more reasons.
Just like when you leave any group - just go, making a big announcement (which amounts to nothing) just seems like one is looking for attention.

Calling You is a song from the 1987 film, Baghdad Cafe. It was originally recorded by Jevetta Steele. Bob Telson, the songwriter, also recorded his version. Both versions appeared on the movie soundtrack. The song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 61st Academy Awards.
Patti also performs the song on her 1993 Patti Lupone Live album.

I watched the first two episodes of AHS NYC tonight, and Patti did two songs. Of course I recognized "Fever", but the second song was in a scene that changed and you could still hear the music. Does anyone know what that song was? Her voice sounded great!"
Gorgeous and haunting - Patti sounds simply amazing

The Union is pretty **** right now. Anyone can join. Most auditions are still virtual. It’s impossible to know if your videos are even getting seen. I mean we have huge super bowls and Grammys but we can’t have in person ECC/EPA like before Covid? Add in situations like Paradise Square where the actors got screwed… I don’t know. It’s not a great time for Equity.
