Overview

• Actors’ Equity’s board has cleared a strike on Broadway if its bargaining team decides it is necessary.
• Negotiations that began Aug. 25 are paused and scheduled to resume Oct. 8 with a mediator involved.
• The Broadway League says it prefers to reach a fair agreement through good‑faith bargaining at the table.
• Equity argues Broadway contributes less to the health fund than smaller theaters and warns rising costs are straining coverage.
• A walkout would target contracts at 32 League theaters, potentially shutting down shows, as more than 2,800 signers and strike pledge cards signal member support.
