The stagehands? union and the league representing Broadway?s theater owners and producers resumed talks last night after a 12-hour break from a marathon session the day and night before. The two sides were still in negotiations early today at the league?s lawyers? offices. The talks that began midmorning Sunday were the first by the two sides in a week. The session lasted nearly 20 hours, ending at daybreak. For some, that was a promising sign that an end was in sight to the 17-day stagehands? strike, which has darkened most of Broadway. But people involved in the talks said that while progress was being made, it was slow and incremental.
