Posted: 11/9/07 at 10:56pmHow far does this go? Will this mean every Equity regional theater be dark? Now I'm nervous!

"Lincoln Center should not be affected, unless the stagehands decide to walk in solidarity."
Which would be an illegal act by the stagehands, in which case Lincoln Center Theater should hit them with an unfair labor practices complaint.

Mermaid WILL be affected. Look at the list of shows posted that shouldn't be..anything not on that list in a Broadway house will not be playing.

Posted: 11/9/07 at 11:05pmDid anyone else see the blurb saying "Broadway's Stagehands Are Said to Plan Strike for Saturday" on nytimes.com? It was up about ten seconds ago, but now it's gone...

Posted: 11/9/07 at 11:21pmCBS just updated the story and their sources say that ticket holders can get a refund if their show is affected by the strike. So, yes, your friends can get a refund.

Posted: 11/9/07 at 11:22pmI have onstage seats for Spring Awakening on 12/16. I really hope it doesn't last that long. Of course, if it does, me missing Spring Awakening will be the least of our problems.

On a selfish note: UGH. I REALLY want to see Is He Dead, and PRAY it re- opens after a strike.
On a less selfish note: Well. Good luck to all.

I doubt any IATSE workers will work, it's called solidarity, you'll see it in BILLY ELIOT.
I second best to all involved.

Better now than during the holidays. And really, the union has some just crazy items in their contract; some of which make opening for many plays simply not possible.
Minimums for work/ers not needed.
Only in a union can you get paid for not showing up!

Posted: 11/9/07 at 11:48pmCurtainPullDowner, do you realize all the things that IATSE does? If all of IATSE strikes, so many things other than theatre will be shut down including TV and Sporting Events. Do you mean all of Local One?

Posted: 11/9/07 at 11:58pmStupid question, but does the strike effect off broadway houses? I have tickets for Frankenstein on Sunday.

the musicians’ strike in 2003, which lasted for four days, was the first time since 1975 that Broadway was shut down by a labor dispute.
What was the cause of the strike in 1975?
