Cabaret Rulebook 07-11 - Actors

(D) Whenever a breach of a billing clause contained in an Actor's individual contract is claimed,
Equity or the Actor shall notify the Producer by certified letter or fax, return receipt requested, or
by hand delivery with receipt signed by the party addressed or their designee, of the breach.
(1) If the breach is not corrected within seven days of receipt of notification except as
provided below, the Producer shall pay to the Actor a sum equal to one-eighth or one
performance pro-rata, whichever is greater, of the Actor's contractual salary for any time
during the first week the breach continues after the seventh day. For each week the breach
continues thereafter, or if additional breaches occur and the Producer has been properly
notified, the Actor shall be paid cumulatively an additional one-eighth or one performance
pro-rata, whichever is greater, per week or per breach for as long as the breaches continue
(i.e., two-eighths for the second week or second breach, three-eighths for the third week or
third breach, and so forth).
(2) If the breach involves billboards, the time interval for correction shall be extended to two
weeks. Exempted from this provision shall be posters on unpaid locations.
(3) If the breach involves billing under the Producer's control or creation in a magazine or
similar publication and the Producer does not correct an error in billing when notified 72
hours prior to the press deadline, the Producer shall pay to the Actor a sum equal to oneeighth
or one performance pro-rata, whichever is greater, of the Actor's contractual salary.
(4) If the breach involves billing under the Producer's control or creation in a newspaper,
and the Producer does not correct an error in billing when notified 48 hours or more prior to
the press deadline, the Producer shall pay to the Actor a sum equal to one-eighth or one
performance pro-rata, whichever is greater, of the Actor's contractual salary.
(E) Program and Souvenir Program.
(1) Cast List. A cast list must be offered free of charge to every patron who enters the
theatre at all performances. Such cast list must contain the names of all Actors employed
on an Equity contract and their role or function. The Stage Manager and Dance Captain
shall be billed on the first page on which there is a complete cast listing or on the title page.
(2) Biographies. All performing Principal Actors, Stage Managers, and performing Chorus
performers shall have a biography in the program, playbill, and souvenir program. The
biography will contain professional credits and biographical data. The Actor shall have the
right of approval of biographical material which approval shall be in writing and not
unreasonably withheld. Such approval shall include an indication of the preferred cuts in
the event that limitations of space require editing. Should the Actor fail to indicate such
preferred cuts the Producer shall be free to edit at the Producer's discretion. Biographical
material not disapproved within 48 hours of its submission to the Actor shall be considered
approved. Replacement Actors engaged for one week or more shall have biographical
material inserted in the program if the Actor replaced was a performing Principal, Stage
Manager, or Chorus performer. (See Rule 12(B)(2))
(3) Omissions or Errors. In the event that there are errors or omissions in the printed cast
listing in the playbill or program, the Producer agrees that upon receipt of written notice of
an omission or error in such cast listing, the Producer will, within 24 hours (including at
least one business day), place in the playbill or program a printed slip correcting the
omission or error, and will also correct the omission or error in the next printing of the
