hi folks. what a swell site! ok, i am slated to see
SIGHT UNSEEN on sat. night, july 17th. with this looming strike, do you think SIGHT will still be performing if a strike hits? does anyone know if that will be one of the shows NOT affected, as it's Manh. Theater Club?

ALSO - if it is closed due to a strike, what do box offices usually do in this situation? as SIGHT closes 7/25, will they willingly give me fresh tkts. if it re-opens in time? will I be out of luck and get my credit card reimbursed? yikes! jinkies! your info would help, as I've never dealt with a strike before. grazie!

Sight Unseen would not be affected if there is a strike -- Manhattan Theatre Club operates under a LORT contract with Equity, not the Production COntract at issue, so performances of Sight Unseen will go on even in the event of a strike.

I can't remember Margo, did you see this yet? I would LOVE to see Laura in this!

Not yet. Probably in the next week or two. I've heard good things about it.

Sight Unseen was good.
I am biased towards Laura Linney. She can do no wrong in my book and I thought she was terrific.
Byron Jennings and Ana Reeder were also good.
The only problem I had was with Ben Shenkman.
I loved him in Angels in America, he was amazing but, in Sight Unseen, I had trouble believing his character. I don't know if the character was poorly written or if he had problems playing Johnathan Waxman.
