30 Rock Stars Perform Benefit Show for Production Staff  11/24/07

 

The cast of U.S. TV show 30 Rock has performed a benefit show to raise money for production staff who've been laid-off due to the ongoing Hollywood writers strike.

Cast members including Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski took the stage of a small New York theatre on Monday (19Nov07) to help their out-of-work colleagues.

Two hundred fans paid $20 (#10) each to watch the show, 30 Rock Live!, which will air on U.S. television network NBC on 6 December (07).

Speaking about the strike, Fey says, "It's such a solvable situation. Not only would I prefer to be working, but I would really like our crew to be working."

Members of the Writers Guild Of America have been staging walk-outs since 5 November (07) after talks between the union and studio representatives failed to resolve a dispute over royalties.
