Actors' Equity is urging all NY State members to take action immediately to oppose the proposed Entertainment and Amusement Tax in Governor Paterson's budget. This tax would add 8.375% to the cost of theatre tickets for Broadway and Off Broadway as well as Performing Arts Centers throughout the State. |
| | High tickets prices are the major reason people cite for not attending theatre. Increasing ticket prices will mean a further decline in audiences, who are already recoiling in our weakened economy. Theatres provide jobs and put money back into the economy. Any disincentive to theatre audiences will do harm to our industry.
Please follow this link to send a personalized email to your NY State Legislators to oppose Governor Paterson's proposed tax.
