Cabaret Rulebook 07-11 - Actors

Actor shall be required to work with any such person not holding such contract so procured and
filed.
(F) Executed Agreement. Within one week after entering into any employment contract (and
where the Actor is employed after rehearsals have begun, within three days after the Actor has
begun to rehearse) the Producer shall file with Equity a signed copy thereof. Failure to do so shall
constitute a breach of contract by the Producer, and the Actor may, at any time, Equity
consenting, terminate the contract without notice, and the Producer shall pay the Actor as
damages for breach, a sum or sums to be computed as in the case of breach of Rule 10,
BREACHES BY PRODUCERS.
(G) Attempted breach. No Actor shall agree with a Producer, Employment Agent, Personal
Representative, or other Actor, and no Producer shall agree with any Actor, Employment Agent,
or Personal Representative to cause, or attempt to cause, or agree to permit any breach of any
term of any employment contract.
(1) Should any Actor engage in such conduct, said Actor shall be subject to such
disciplinary action as Equity may determine.
(2) Should any Producer be found by an arbitration award to have engaged in such
conduct, said Producer agrees that such conduct on the Producer's part shall be a breach
of the Producer's employment agreements with Actors, entitling any such Actors to recover
from the Producer, Equity consenting, a sum equal to two weeks' salary as liquidated
damages, no present basis of calculation existing. The Producer further agrees that upon
such breach, the Producer's name may be posted on the "Defaulting Employers List"
maintained at Equity.
(3) In the event of a recovery of liquidated damages by or on behalf of the offending Actor,
the same shall be paid into the Actors' Equity Foundation.
(H) Hiring "As Cast." If in the contract of a Principal Actor, the Actor's part(s) is not specified, then,
unless Equity shall otherwise order, the Principal Actor shall only be required to appear and
perform in the part(s) in which the Actor makes the Actor's first public appearance.
18. CONVERSION RIGHTS
(A) Subsequent Equity Contract/Agreement.
(1) Should the Producer, or should any management, group or enterprise, which the
Producer controls or directs, produce an original play or musical or a new interpretation of a
play or musical under this Agreement and then produce the first subsequent production of
the play or musical on a higher paying contract or on a standard contract in a Point of
Organization city, the Producer agrees to offer any member of the Company employed on
Equity contract who was originally engaged on the Cabaret Contract and who actually
performed a role or function in the Cabaret production an opportunity to continue in said
first subsequent production only. The Producer agrees that any offer shall be made in
writing to the Actor, copy to Equity, at least two weeks prior to the date of first rehearsal for
the subsequent production. The Producer may require the Actor to respond in writing, by
hand delivery or fax, return receipt requested, within three business days of receipt of said
offer. The Producer agrees to reimburse any member of the Company employed on Equity
contract not offered the Actor’s same role or function three weeks' applicable minimum
