Metropolitan Opera to Lock Out Stagehands as Contract Talks Stall Dec 9

That's not what they didn't agree to tho. They didn't agree to a 30% pay cut, 15% of which, would be forever. Even after the Met got back to regular levels.

Let's focus on the regular crew. There will always be outliers. I don't make anywhere near what those two guys make, but who am I to decide its too much? My only point is let's not look at things and cut each other down too quickly because some have more. Let's work to get those who have less more. Otherwise, everyone will have less.

I believe that 260K figure included benefits, which can run up to 40% in some cases, not that I know any specifics about the Met contract. That being said, we should never be for pay cuts for regular, working class, middle class people. Even ones on the upper end. We should continue fighting for better wages for all in the middle class and others less fortunate.

Not a lot of Patrick Henry fans here. Or Voltaire fans.

2021 now looking bleak for potential U.S. theater reopening Oct 30

I don't think there's any question that Fauci recently discussed pushing the timeline back for " feeling comfortable" about going to a theatre.

Yep. That's all. I happen to disagree with you and think the show will survive, but obviously that's just a complete guess. The longer this takes, the more uncertainties there will be, of course. I can see lots of successful shows not wanting to put all the efforts- and monetary risk- it will take to restart.
I'm assuming you read the Times article about the Met? We had discussed pay cuts for workers in the past when we do restart.i think that was met with some resistance by you and ot

"HogansHero said: "My opinion: he will not be coming back and the show won't be coming back."
Well, we certainly hope this is not the case. There was a modest wardrobe call there yesterday, but a lot can happen in a year. Obviously, the longer I takes to get back, the harder it will be for some shows to remain in wait.

I happen to agree. Just trying to post some positive news. Even if it's unlikely. But, hope isn't always a bad thing.

I re read some of the articles. He said it's conceivable. I got duped my some dubious headlines. But,I suppose, some writers could claim saying something is "conceivable" is agreeing something is "possible"

I was feeling so pessimistic, thinking next September was the best case scenario, but with this talk of a vaccine between November and the new year, I'm feeling very hopeful for the first time in months that March may actually happen. I read Dr. Fauci said this is a very real possibility. I trust him. Not trying to be political here.

What is your Most loved Episode from any TV show Sep 4

I Love Lucy Is like the Beatles. It may not be your absolute favorite, but it surely was the best.
The episode with William Holden is my favorite of so many ridiculously funny episodes.

Trust me, you have no idea what you're talking about. Unless you're saying Local 1 has no POC who are qualified for those positions. If that's your opinion, have the courage to say it. Otherwise, they are there, eligible for the jobs like anyone else.
We've already discussed and agreed, years ago Local 1 was somewhat considered a"closed shop". Even tho that's not true due to the apprentice test that began about 40 years ago. I've also agreed that change is slow. I've also shown in the

The theatre owners do the hiring of all heads. Discuss this with them.

the list I posted seems pretty meaningful. It seems to suggest a willingness to change. I think that in itself is extremely meaningful.

The Booth. Longacre, Golden, Imperial. Circle, Kerr, Ambassador, Winter Garden, Belasco, and Lyceum all have women and/or POC as heads. And 3 women recently retired from the Schoenfeld and Broadhurst and Imperial. Some of these theatres have more than one. I'm sure I'm missing a few. And just a note, I didn't say it was perfect, just moving in the right direction. Local 1 has many other venues outside of Broadway that I'm just not familiar enough with t
