Actors’ Equity and Broadway League Reach Tentative Three-Year Deal After All-Night Mediation

A musicians’ walkout remains possible because AFM Local 802 is still negotiating after authorizing a strike.

Overview

  • Talks ran until about 6 a.m. Saturday with a mediator, resulting in a tentative agreement on Equity’s Production Contract.
  • Equity says the three-year pact preserves the Equity–League Health Fund and makes progress on scheduling and access to physical therapy.
  • The agreement will be sent to union members for ratification following internal review procedures.
  • AFM Local 802 continues separate negotiations with a 98% strike-authorization vote in hand, and union leadership says a walkout remains on the table.
  • A musicians’ strike would shut most Broadway musicals, with limited exceptions such as Ragtime at Lincoln Center Theater under a different contract.
