Patti LuPone says she has resigned from Actors’ Equity.
The three-time Tony Award winner tweeted Monday it was “quite a week on Broadway, seeing my name being bandied about.”
She added, “Gave up my Equity card; no longer part of that circus. Figure it out,” she said.
A union membership is required to perform in any Broadway production and most professional theaters in the U.S.
The actor later clarified via a spokesperson that she had resigned from the union after the run of Company, which closed on Broadway on July 31. LuPone won her third Tony Award for her portrayal of Joanne in the show.
“When the run of Company ended this past July, I knew I wouldn’t be on stage for a very long time. And at that point I made the decision to resign from Equity,” LuPone said in a statement.

Writer-director Annika Glac and producer Robyn Kershaw will further develop their six-part drama based on the life of cosmetics entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein after being selected for TorinoFilmLab’s TV development platform SeriesLab.
The series, titled Helena I Am, follows Rubenstein, a woman born into a Jewish Orthodox family in Krakow Poland, who was then banished to outback Coleraine, Victoria.
Without an education, money or connections, she pioneered a makeup empire from lanolin, the grease from sheep’s wool – and would go on to become one of the world’s richest women.
The series is one of nine selected for this year’s SeriesLab which mentors European creatives (Glac is Polish-Australian).
