Broadway League and Actors’ Equity Association Tentative Agreement

The Broadway League and Actors’ Equity Association have reached a tentative agreement in the ongoing negotiations regarding the safety protocols and working conditions for Broadway performers. This agreement comes after weeks of intense discussions and deliberations between the two parties.

Union Members to Vote on Agreement

While the tentative agreement is a significant step forward, the union members represented by Actors’ Equity Association must now decide whether to ratify the proposed terms. This decision will have far-reaching implications for the future of Broadway productions and the livelihoods of the performers.

Concerns Remain for Musicians

Despite the progress made in reaching an agreement for performers, concerns remain for the musicians who provide the live music for Broadway shows. The musicians are still at risk of going on strike as negotiations between their union representatives and the Broadway producers continue.

With the livelihoods of both performers and musicians at stake, the Broadway community is closely watching the developments and hoping for a resolution that is fair and sustainable for all parties involved.
