The Stagehands Strike

Haven't said a word about it. Everyone else has. Here's why: Everyone else has plenty to say. Other blogs, the Times, whatever. It's out there.

My thoughts are pretty simple:

Ever heard of a stage hand that... owns 1501 Broadway? Uh huh.

Do you really need to cut costs when one of your producers is Universal Pictures?

Here's a solution: lobby for National Arts Subsidies. Otherwise, if you're going to try to get idiots to pay $450 for the pleasure of watching a movie adaptation in person, you can respect the people on whose backs this work is performed.
