This week's Theater Talk (aired May 7, 2021) IATSE (The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts), we understand, has told its members to be ready to go back to work in August, if not earlier. Does IATSE have a crystal ball? 97,000 people work on Broadway, in some capacity or other, and so they hope that IATSE does.As reported in Playbill, the last full theatre season Broadway welcomed 14.77 million theatregoers (more people than New York’s 10 major sports teams combined), contributing to nearly $15 billion to the New York economy and supporting employment for roughly 97,000 people.
