It's the end of the world as we know it - provided you believe the current misinterpretation of the Mayan baktun cycle being passed around the inter-webs. Or if you work at the Kravis Center.Yes, things are getting ugly at Palm Beach's union-busting Performing Arts Center; twelve years of violating their union contract has finally come home to roost as IATSE local 500 pickets the center, and the incoming tour (comprised of members of at least two different unions) refuses to cross the picket lines.
Which means that more scheduled performances have had to be canceled, according to The Palm Beach Post. The Kravis Center, in its characteristically arrogant fashion, has tried to pin the blame everywhere but where it belongs - on the management of the Kravis Center. Every decision they've made since they chose to violate their contract with the union has led inexorably to this strike.
NOTE: the strike was settled on December 21, allowing Jersey Boys to open Saturday, December 22.
In the meantime, there are loads of other shows playing on the Scene - go see them.
