We are actively pursuing takedown requests and ask that no one participates in the distribution of these images.” by Anonymous "Posting it on the internet is a gross and unacceptable violation of trust between the actor and audience forged in the theatre community. “Taking naked pictures of anyone without their consent is highly objectionable and can have severe legal consequences," Second Stage said. The company said it would beef up security in the wake of the violation. Audience members arriving at the theater surrender their phones which are then put in the locked pouches until the end of the show. Second Stage Theater, which is producing the revival, has been using Yondr pouches to protect the actors. Williams earned a Tony Award nomination Monday for playing the superstar. Williams is starring in a revival of “Take Me Out,” Richard Greenberg’s exploration of what happens when a Major League Baseball superstar comes out as gay, tracing the way it unsettles the team and unleashes toxic prejudices. “Whoever did this knew not only that they were filming actors without their consent, but also that they were explicitly violating the theater’s prohibition on recording and distribution.” “We condemn in the strongest possible terms the creation and distribution of photographs and videos of our members during a nude scene,” said Kate Shindle, president of Actors’ Equity Association.

"My prediction is three days a week becomes two days a week, and two days a week becomes one day a week, and pretty soon are you really in a hybrid world, or are you mostly a remote world?" he said.

For Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, working at the office is now a relic of the past.
