Atlantic Theater Crew Strike Halts Two Off-Broadway Productions

Stagehands demand fair wages and healthcare as negotiations with Atlantic Theater Company break down.

Crew members at Atlantic Theater Company, represented by IATSE, went on strike after contract talks collapsed over the weekend.
The strike has led to the indefinite postponement of two productions, 'Grief Camp' and 'I’m Assuming You Know David Greenspan.'
IATSE accuses the theater of stalling negotiations and failing to provide healthcare, filing unfair labor practice charges against the company.
Atlantic Theater offered wage increases of up to 20% and interim agreements, but warned that IATSE's demands could threaten the financial viability of Off-Broadway theaters.
Equity Association expressed solidarity with IATSE, supporting calls for fair and sustainable contracts for production crews.
