The Local One strike which is crippling the theater industry in New York has now gone into day 3 of the strike. Although Monday is a particularly quiet day on Broadway with few shows having Monday performances normally things are getting even quieter as the strike continues.
Local One which is the Broadway Stagehands union has been working since July 31st without a contract. This is the first strike in the union’s 121-year history, though this is not the first strike to happen on Broadway. Broadway went dark in 2003 when the musicians strike but this ended after four days.
Below is a list of shows that are currently on strike as well as shows that are still running during the strike since those productions are either presented by Broadway’s nonprofit sector or are housed in theatres whose contracts with Local One are separate.
