STAGE

Actors Equity Assn. announced Tuesday that Joseph Ruskin has been reelected to a three-year term as vice president of the Western Advisory Board by 1,770 votes. Also reelected as principal-actor representatives are Howard Caine, Michael Fox, Zale Kessler, Marcia Mohr and Bart Williams. All were incumbents. Normally this routine election wouldn’t draw much attention. What spiced it up this time is the continuing controversy surrounding the recently voted-in Actors 99-Seat Theatre Plan (which will replace the 16-year-old Equity Waiver on Oct. 3). A dissident group, calling itself Actors for Equity and strongly opposed to the new plan, which it considers unworkable, had submitted its own slate of write-in candidates. None were elected. John Bazzell, not an incumbent and not embroiled in the Waiver disputes, was elected to a three-year term representing chorus members. A total of 2,616 ballots were cast.
