| 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. | |
