This year is not every year, and this is not the garden variety doldrums. Or at least let's hope it's not how the garden grows in the future.

The parties could have negotiated something here but there is a lack of leadership on both sides, as I have discussed ad nauseum.

Beyond that, and this addresses your other post as well, let's be real here: the only alternative is shutting down for good. And we will see the same thing play out with a lot of other shows. And the rich guys who stay open may well be hurt long term too. Not a good situation but this is the closest thing to leadership I've seen since the word omicron entered our consciousness. I have had my issues with Kevin but I have to give him credit here. He stepped forward when everyone else was staring at the floor.

We've known all along that this winter was going to be brutal. Omicron has made it many times worse. As I keep saying, expect a dozen shows to survive. If fast forwarding to spring gives Doubtfire a fighting chance, good on them. Ask the ATP company if they would have preferred this.
