Due to the ongoing stagehands strike, which began Nov. 10, the League of American Theatres and Producers has announced that matinee performances on Wednesday, Nov. 14 have been canceled for the 27 theatres darkened by the strike.

League spokesperson Alan Cohen told the Associates Press, "We will deal with the Wednesday evening performances on Tuesday."

Twenty-seven Broadway shows are currently dark because of the strike. Only eight shows will perform Tuesday evening, Nov. 13 and Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 14. Those shows include Cymbeline, Mary Poppins, Mauritius, Pygmalion, The Ritz, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Xanadu and Young Frankenstein. These productions are housed in theatres whose contracts with Local One are separate.
