I think a bigger scandal than The Flea is the dismal wage scale for actors at The Signature Theatre which also put the cost of a splashy new facility ahead of the wages of those who toil there.
The Flea exploited non union labor, the Signature asks Equity performers to work for peanuts in their new-ish Frank Gehry designed home.

The Signature keeps it ticket prices at $25. Much lower than any other comparable theater in town.

Huh? Signature is a signatory to the same agreement as everyone else. What are you talking about?

what low wages? they paid the applicable wage scale in the CBA. And I don't think you know much about the financing of the space, do you? I gather you have some agenda here but maybe flesh it out a bit more.

The problems of The Flea are the problems of the entire New York theater industry, just more nakedly on display.

some are, some aren't. I am not sure how it serves any progressive interest to lump everyone into one pile. In the past (meaning a number of years ago), when I had occasion to look at this a bit, I saw things at the Flea that I have never seen anywhere else in New York. At the time, I questioned the legality of some of the things I observed, maybe here.
