To The Broadway League:

We are Equity United: the community of union actors and stage managers who make and celebrate Broadway theatre.

Eight times a week, we show up for our audiences, but what audiences don’t see are all the additional hours behind the scenes it takes to stay show-ready. The work is intense, the schedules are grueling, and we show up with extraordinary skill, passion, and commitment. Now we’re asking you to show up for us. Our proposals are fair and reasonable:

• Pivot toward humane scheduling, including providing appropriate paid time off, to keep everyone in the best shape possible to do the work

• Pay your fair share toward our health insurance

• Reasonably and safely staff our workplaces to foster safety and prevent emergencies

These are the building blocks of a sustainable career… and of a healthier Broadway! And this is our chance to create a better future together. We call on you to meet this moment, to truly listen to your workers, and to join us in building an agreement that reflects respect, dignity, and care.

We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our fellow Equity stage managers, actors, and staff at the bargaining table. We are united, we are resolute, and we know Broadway is stronger when its workers are protected, supported, and heard.
