Broadway Strike Continues November 19, 2007
Talks Reach No Agreement     
 
Negotiations between the stagehands of Local One I.A.T.S.E. and the League broke off last night without an agreement. Local 802 continues to express its solidarity with Local 1 and its striking members. We urge both parties to get back to the bargaining table and to find a fair solution. All support activities on the picket lines will continue.
Grinch News

Despite failure to reach an overall settlement, Local 1 has agreed to take down its picketline at the St James Theatre and allow "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" to re-open for its limited holiday run.We are awaiting confirmation that The Jujamcyn organization has ageed to resume performaces of the Grinch. We will post information on the Grinch schedule as soon as it becomes available. Musicians should also check with the show's in-house contractor.
