LATEST NEWS: A statement from the League of American Theatres and Producers reads, 'The League of American Theatres and Producers and Local One talked through the night and were unable to reach an agreement. Talks will resume tomorrow (Wednesday, November 28) at 10AM. Performances are canceled through Wednesday's matinees.'
