Furthermore, the Producer will provide a statement of this nontraditional casting policy to his Directors, Choreographers and Casting Consultants. (D) Performers with Disabilities (See Rule 6(D)(2).) (E) Records: The Producer will maintain for each production records of ethnic minorities, women, seniors and performers with disabilities auditioned, interviewed, hired and/or replaced and will forward such records to Equity within 30 days of the final performance. Equity will provide the applicable form. 27. EQUITY: SPECIAL PROVISIONS (A) Equity may represent Actors in any dispute which may arise with the Producer, and Equity may, at all times, represent Actors in relation to any matter arising under any employment agreement, and when any act or request or consent of any such Actor is provided for in such agreement, the request, consent, or approval of Equity shall, for all purposes, be deemed the consent, request, approval or act of the Actors. (B) Meetings. The Producer shall not require the services of the Actor for rehearsals (except in cases where dress rehearsals are being held or rehearsals on opening day) at any time when a regularly called Equity membership meeting is being held. Time off for this purpose shall not be counted as a part of that day's rehearsal. (C) Special Authority to Act for the Actor. (1) Whenever it is provided in any employment contract that any act or thing may be done by an Actor at the option of, or with the consent of, or at the request of Equity, or on the demand of or with the consent of such Actor, Equity, representing the Actor, has and is given the authority to act for and in place of the member and to assert the Actor's position or make the Actor's request or demand as the case may be, with all of the power and authority of the Actor, without liability to itself. (2) In all cases where, by virtue of any employment contract, the consent, or approval of Equity is required, the Association has and reserves full discretionary power in giving its consent to change, modify or limit rights of any member under that member's contract, said action to be taken on behalf of the Association in writing by either the President, Executive Director, or one of the Equity executives, especially authorized to act. (D) Oral and written interpretations. Oral or telephone rulings made by Equity are not binding upon the Association or, except with its consent upon Actors. Written rulings or interpretations of the employment contract or the Agreement Governing Employment in Cabarets must be either approved or given by the President, Executive Director, or an Equity representative specifically authorized to act, and shall be binding upon Equity only when said persons act within the powers delegated to them by Equity. (E) Should there be any conflict between any Rules or any basis for more than one interpretation as to the meaning of any of them, Equity shall have the right to determine the correct interpretation or resolve the conflict, and its decision shall be binding. 24
(F) Determination of classification. Equity shall have the sole right to determine whether an individual is correctly classified as an Actor, Chorus, Stage Manager, or Assistant Stage Manager, and the Producer agrees that Equity's determination shall be final. 28. EXCLUSIVE SERVICE OF THE ACTOR Except as otherwise provided in the contract of employment, the Actor shall not accept any other engagement in the legitimate and/or musical comedy field from the date of beginning of rehearsal and until said contract is lawfully terminated (except as provided in Rule 38, MORE REMUNERATIVE EMPLOYMENT and Rule 64, TERMINATION) without the written consent of the Producer. The Actor shall, however, have the right to accept other employment, not conflicting with the fulfillment of the Actor's duties under said contract. 29.
