| ...Presumably, dependent on working out payment plans after the stimulus kicks in and money is distributed. Obviously, the owners of all those barnlike multiplexes aren't going to find new tenants during the crisis (or, likely, during the next year or two) any more than the Shuberts and Nederlanders can find new Broadway shows to come in when audiences aren't allowed. So (especially since so many of these shows year after year are produced by the same people, and often co-produced with, say, the Shuberts or Nederlanders) I see no reason why the same kind of notification can't come into play here. The landlords can't kick out their tenants (literally, in this case, since unions would need to be engaged to load out any productions) and it's not like they're gonna get money from anyone or anywhere else in the meanwhile... so as Trump might say, "they should just notify that they're unable to pay – what do they have to lose?" |
