Brooke Shields backs Casa Bonita performers as union presses for pay and safety upgrades

Brooke Shields is backing about 80 Casa Bonita performers who unionized with Actors’ Equity to demand higher pay and stronger safety protections amid allegations of hypothermia, chlorine toxicity, sexual harassment, and security gaps. Performers earn $21–$26/hour, less than servers who recently received raises, while management has offered only a small wage increase and has not commented on ongoing negotiations. Actors’ Equity has filed multiple NLRB complaints alleging retaliation and failure to bargain, and Parker and Stone have largely remained silent as their Denver venue faces ongoing labor disputes.
