Wow, That's a Really Great Idea

With the current WGA strike, the casts of SNL and 30 Rock are running full benefit shows to help out their production staff. With the NY theatre crews on strike, I guess it is pretty easy to find space for it. I wish I could go.

SNL, with host Michael Cera and musical guest Yo La Tango, will run through an entire episode Saturday at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Manhattan, with the cast of 30 Rock to do the same on Monday. Proceeds from both already sold-out shows will go to each program's production staff.

"We are doing this to raise spirits, raise awareness and raise money for our hardworking production crews who will be having a hard holiday season if this strike continues," SNL player Amy Poehler said in a statement.
