Award-winning stage actor and singer Patti LuPone announced that she has given up her union membership, adding she would not be onstage for a 'very long time.'

The tweet followed a week of high drama in the Broadway world that began when Lillias White, a “Hadestown” cast member, called out an audience member on Wednesday over her use of a captioning device, which White mistook for a cellphone. White drew intense criticism for the mistake, and the incident prompted comparisons to LuPone’s history of confronting audience members about their cellphone use during live shows.

She told People that the union accepted her resignation, and she would have to be approved to rejoin. The Actors’ Equity Association, which represents tens of thousands of actors and stage managers, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post. : “I am so defeated by this issue that I seriously question whether I want to work on stage anymore.”LuPone had accused that audience member of texting during her performance, and was praised for her actions. Similarly, a crowd applauded her for stopping mid-song during a 2009 “Gypsy” performance to yell at someone who was taking pictures during the show.
