Actors’ Equity is warning members that New York City’s just-launched “ Open Culture ” program of outdoor performances on city streets does not meet the union’s minimum standards for wages or its Covid-19 safety protocols. “If you are approached to work on a New York City ‘Open Culture’ project, please contact your business representative immediately before accepting,” writes Equity executive director Mary McColl in a letter being sent to members today. Equity indicated that it will “continue to push New York City” to make changes to Open Culture regarding pay and safety issues.

Sort of. Chancellor Angela Merkel's federal government, and representatives of Germany's states, have agreed to a "five-step" program to take the country out of lockdown, including plans to re-open movie theaters, which have been shuttered since November —in the country's second coronavirus lockdown. Under the plan, Germany is set to remain under lockdown until at least March 28, but some businesses will be allowed to open and operate, under hygienic conditions, depending on the infection levels in individual cities and regions.
