Latest reports say The League of American Theatres and Producers and the stagehands' union Local One may reconvene Sunday, November 25 to reopen negotiations in hopes of resolving the labor dispute that has closed much of Broadway for 11 days.  

There is no confirmation from either side whether a meeting has been scheduled or not.

The League and Local One met at the negotiating table for many hours this past weekend on November 17 and 18, but to no avail.  The League left the table without accepting Local One's latest offer.  Thus, 27 Broadway theatres will remain dark through November 25.  

There were attempts to reopen Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas yesterday, but while Local One lifted the strike on the special-contract production (with some 12+ shows a week), the Jujamcyn Theatres have imposed a lock-out on the stagehands, and performances are frozen.
