The Broadway League and Disney Theatrical Productions, which represent producers, and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, announced Thursday they have reached a tentative agreement with Disney Theatrical and industry trade group the Broadway League, thus averting a strike that would have shut down Broadway and touring productions.

The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), which represents the 1,500 stagehands and other backstage workers involved in the dispute, said it was conducting a strike authorization vote on Wednesday and Thursday. 

The union later said in a joint statement that it reached an agreement with bargainers who act on behalf of theater owners and producers.

The statement further said that the contract has yet to be ratified by IATSE's rank-and-file and will be put to members in the coming days. 

"The strike has been averted, though the contract must be approved by the membership," said union spokesperson Jonas Loeb.
