| Of course not. Cast and crew were asked to put their health at risk to work through Omicron for the past two weeks, now they're all being fired with the promise if being re-hired when the show reopens... which I'm gonna put those odds at even. | |

| When a show closes, I don't think of its employees as being "fired," and likewise when a show closes down with intention to reopen. "Kevin McCollum, a veteran Broadway producer whose previous credits include “Rent” and “Avenue Q,” said he would close the musical comedy beginning Jan. 10, with a plan to reopen on March 14. The move will cost 115 people their jobs for that period; McCollum said he is committed to rehiring those who want to return. “My job is to protect the jobs long-term of those who are working on ‘Mrs. Doubtfire,’ and this is the best way I can do that today,” he said in an interview. “I can’t just sit idly by when there’s a solution, albeit unprecedented and painful. I can’t guarantee anything, but at this moment this is the most prudent thing I can do with the tools I have.” |

| Don't you have to have a certain number of work-weeks to be eligible? And to get unemployment, don't you have to have worked a certain number of weeks -- like six months in the previous year -- to be eligible for unemployment? | |

| If there's a problem with their union insurance, hopefully there's a way for them to get Medicaid, which actually offers some good insurance including dental coverage, or otherwise low-cost insurance from Obamacare if they meet income requirements, which might take into consideration a drop in monthly income from unemployment. Check out the Actors Fund website which gives like weekly on-line now seminars on health insurance. | |
