[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw Broadway actors may strike soon.

This is more devastating to me than the actor's strike. I have tickets to several shows this summer and travel plans made.

Writers, actors, Broadway, and UPS all on strike at once... the world will fall apart!

Just to clarify (though the end result will be the same--show closure for now): Any strike against The Broadway League and Disney Theatricals, the companies involved, would be a strike by IATSE (the union representing stagehands, wardrobe, makeup and other technical employees), not Equity (the union representing actors). The result, though, would still be that shows would halt. I'm really sorry, PP; it sucks to have plans made and tickets bought! But the issues for IATSE are important, like the ones for SAG-AFTRA and WGA. Health care and pay are at stake.

According to this article, some shows which do not use IATSE members might be unaffected if there is an IATSE strike on Broadway, so if any of the shows you would see fall into that category they might still take place, maybe?
