NEW YORK, NY November 13, 2007 —The Broadway stagehands strike heads into its fourth day, as picket lines continue outside of more than two dozen shuttered theaters.

REPORTER: The impact is being felt directly on the street, by all the peripheral businesses that depend on a healthy industry. Aaron James is a photographer who takes pictures of theatergoers in Times Square.

JAMES: Can't make no money. People keep passing by. They're not stopping like they used to stop. It should be a fun thing where they come by and take a photograph after the play. But now, since there's no show going on, I guess they're not coming out.

REPORTER: For tour bus operators, the strike is good for business. Al Mamann and Noel Arthur were wandering Times Square, trying to drum up business for City Sights New York.

MAMANN: We hope they continue the strike.

ARTHUR: Because it makes more money for us. More people won't watch TV, they'll come out and see our tours, go out and see the Statue of Liberty and all the sights. So that makes money for us.

MAMANN: Tell them to continue being striking.

REPORTER: Off-Broadway shows also saw an increase in their weekend sales. Talks between the union and producers broke down over the number of stagehands required to produce shows.
