Tony Awards at Risk Due to Writers' Strike
The Tony Awards Management Committee has called an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss the possible impact of the WGA writers strike on this year's Tony Awards. The committee is seeking a WGA waiver to allow union writers to proceed with working on the broadcast. Other contingency plans likely to be discussed include a scaled-back non-televised ceremony and a postponement of the awards until after the strike ends. Actors' Equity, which represents Broadway's actors and stage managers, joined the WGA picket lines in New York City.
