ZACH: Choices require FACTS!

ZACH Theatre employees have a choice coming up before them, to vote for Local 205 Representation or not. Choices require accurate information. In an effort to cut through the rumors and dirty tactics from ZACH management, Local 205 has a whole new section of this site just for ZACH employees!

There is also a HOTLINE for any other questions you may have, call anytime! 512-371-1217 ext. 205

Jerry Paramount Marquee

Brother Gerald B. Reed

Brothers and Sisters,

It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that yesterday morning, our much loved brother, Jerry Reed, was tragically killed in a car accident in Lago Vista. The accident was a head on collision. The other driver fell asleep at the wheel.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his two sons, Reno and Micah, and his granddaughter.

Regrettably,
President Magee

Here are some photos in memory that have trickled in since the news…

You’ve heard from ZACH management, you’ve heard from disgruntled ex-ZACH employees, you’ve heard from disgruntled ex-union members, sadly you’ve even heard from a misinformed Local 205 member. Unfortunately, all of them have provided you with misinformation about organizing, what it means, how it works, and how it will impact you.

So, who is the union? We’re stagehands, just like you. We love our craft, just like you. We’re creative and proud of what we do, just like you. We’d like to help you thrive at ZACH, not just survive!

I’d like you to hear the truth about organizing, IATSE and Local 205 from a reliable source; IATSE Local 205’s leadership! I’m inviting you all to put us to the test. We’ll be at

Uncle Billy’s, 1530 Barton Springs Road on Tuesday, June 14 from 7PM

to give you all the facts and dispel any other myths.

Rachel Magee,
IATSE Local 205, President.
