To take pictures or not to take pictures, that is the question.

PRODUCER’S PERSPECTIVE: "I had to wonder . . . are the actors really opposed to curtain call photos, or is this just one of those union positions that we’re holding on to that no one is that concerned about anymore? Wouldn’t those actors benefit from having their mugs on facebook pages and tweeted like the ones at Fuerza Bruta on 12/3? Could we get a curtain call provision that would allow photos to be taken only then? It's not 'uncontrolled' because the actors know what they look like, what they are wearing, etc. It's much better than a shot on the street, which we can't prevent."

Taking photos at curtain call to post to social networks would be very beneficial to shows. Getting the message of a great show out there to others, through means of a cast photo, would be a great opportunity for people.
