On the day of performance, Red Bull Theater canceled its planned March 30 live stream reading of John Ford's 'Tis Pity She’s a Whore. The free online event, which was set to reunite the cast of the company's 2015 production, was called off a few hours before its scheduled start time due to a dispute with Actors' Equity Association.
Red Bull's leadership, which announced the free virtual event on March 23, says it did not not actively consult AEA ahead of the reading, as the live stream did not involve any theatrical production or venue "known to be covered by their jurisdiction." AEA, which announced new streaming media terms, contacted the theatre company on March 26 about a lack of formal contract for the event and put forward new terms for the reading on the afternoon of March 30.
