“When the run of COMPANY ended this past July, I knew I wouldn’t be on stage for a very long time. And at that point I made the decision to resign from Equity,” Patti LuPone told The Daily Beast in a statement.
Three-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone told The Daily Beast she won’t be on stage for “a very long time” after taking to Twitter Monday to share that she’d given up her equity card. “When the run of COMPANY ended this past July, I knew I wouldn’t be on stage for a very long time. And at that point I made the decision to resign from Equity,” she said in a statement. Hours earlier, she’d penned a cryptic week suggesting her celebrated Broadway career was over.
Figure it out,” tweeted LuPone. Equity memberships are required to perform on stages across the U.S., including Broadway, though it wouldn’t prevent her from performing in non-union performances, and thestar could always reapply in future.
