There really seems to be a breakdown in communication between the employers and the employees lately. It's ironic that they're talking about a strike for the writers, directors and actors in Hollywood around the same time the stagehands on Broadway are striking. Two of our major hubs of the entertainment industry are in a bit of trouble. They need to figure something out, or we might all be a little less entertained in the coming months.
