Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...Again!

Woot! The 19-day stagehands strike is over! A tentative agreement was reached tonight. Talks had begun at 10 AM this morning. Here's a statement from Charlotte St. Martin, the Executive Director of the League of American Theatres and Producers:

We are pleased to announce that we have a tentative agreement with Local One of IATSE ending the Broadway strike, and we're happy about that. Performances for all shows will begin tomorrow night — once again, that's Thursday, Nov. 29 — and schedules for all production will be posted on [the League's official website]. The agreement is a good compromise that serves our industry. What is most important is that Broadway's lights will once again be shining brightly with a diversity of productions that will delight all theatregoers during this holiday time. We look forward to celebrating the season and welcoming our talented stagehands and the theatregoing public back to Broadway."
