- The writers strike has put a stop to many productions
- The Tony Awards are coming up soon
- Producers have reached a waiver agreement
NBC reports that members of the Writers Guild of America said they would not picket the upcoming Tony Awards telecast. Last week, the union denied a request by the event's organizers for a waiver on the June 11 telecast. At the time, the union reiterated that the guild, “will not negotiate an interim agreement or a waiver for the Tony Awards.”
This year's show could be quite groundbreaking
NBC reports that the guild later said that a compromise had been reached, with the organizers, "altering this year’s show to conform with specific requests from the WGA."
