Broadway facing a stagehand snag

Is there a possibility the fall Broadway season will stop before it starts?

Talks between the league of American Theatres and Producers and the Broadway stagehands union have been inching along this month but are approaching a league-imposed deadline.

No one is talking on the record, but the league reportedly will make its last offer Monday. What happens next is up in the air. If an agreement is not reached, the producers could decide to lock out the stagehands, effectively shutting down most theaters. Or the sides could continue talking if progress is being made toward a settlement.
