After Actors’ Equity Association members joined the WGA picket lines outside of HBO and Amazon’s NYC offices today, Equity president Kate Shindle suggested in a statement to Deadline that the strike’s impact on the Tony Awards is yet to be determined
’s biggest night of the year will pledge support for the WGA and join us in demanding that the AMPTP give their workers as much consideration as they devote to executives and shareholders.”, this year’s Tony nominations were announced on May 2, the very same day the WGA went on strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers . The latter organization includes, among its members, Paramount Global, owner of CBS and Paramount+, broadcast and streaming homes of the Tonys.
At the strike today, Equity’s executive director Alvin Vincent Jr., told Deadline that he and other Equity members were marching to demonstrate “solidarity with WGA as well as as the other sibling unions.
As of today, the Tonys are set to take place at the United Palace in New York City’s Washington Heights on Sunday, June 11, airing live on CBS and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+ from 8-11 PM ET/5-8 PM PT). The organizations behind the Tonys – The American Theatre Wing, The Broadway League and exec producers White Cherry Entertainment – have not disclosed what contingency plans, if any, are in place. One possible route would be a waiver from the WGA that would allow its writers to participate in, as Shindle put it, Broadway’s biggest night of the year.
