Broadway stagehand strike ends
Los Angeles Times: "A crippling strike that had shut down most Broadway shows in the heart of the holiday season ended late Wednesday night as striking stagehands finally hammered out a new contract with theater owners and producers. The strike, which had entered its 19th day and drained millions of dollars in revenue from the theater district, was settled after a 12-hour bargaining session that had begun Wednesday morning between the League of American Theaters and Producers and members of Local 1, representing about 3,000 stagehands."

Yay, it's finally all over! No more articles on it dominating the blogspot and I can head up to New York to enjoy a few shows on my haoliday vacation. I'm glad everything has reached solid ground with the holidays rolling around. I'm sure it would dampen several households that work in the industry to be "out of work," so to say, for the holiday season.
