Local One/ IATSE Stagehand Strike Ends

Stagehands Achieve A Fair Contract!

We are happy to announce that the lights of Broadway are shining brightly once again.

On Wednesday, November 28 at 10:45 PM, Local One/IATSE Stagehands and the League of American Theatres and Producers announced that they have agreed to a tentative contract, ending the strike.

Performances for most shows will resume as scheduled.

Our deep and heartfelt thanks to all of our members who sacrificed and valiantly weathered this crisis with professionalism, dignity and solidarity.
