45. PHOTOGRAPHS AND PUBLICITY
(A) Company picture calls, except those during the authorized rehearsal hours or dress
rehearsals for replacement, shall be limited to a maximum of three during any 12 month period,
but in no event more than two during the rehearsal period.
(B) Subject to the limitations of (A) above,
(1) The Producer may require the Actor to pose not only for customary and usual
photographs, but also for photographs to appear in magazines or newspapers for the sole
purpose of publicizing and advertising the play, provided said photographing takes place
immediately following the matinee or evening performance or during the authorized
rehearsal hours or dress rehearsals required for replacements.
(2) Picture calls may be scheduled between performances when two performances are
given in one day only with the consent of the majority of the Actors involved taken by secret
ballot. Notice of a picture call must be at least a 24-hour notice and must be posted before
the final half hour of a performance. If the Producer desires to take pictures at the time
auditions are held, such pictures may be taken with the written consent of the Actor, prior or
subsequent to the auditions, but in no event during auditions.
(3) The time during which said photographs may be taken shall not exceed two hours.
(4) When Photograph calls are allowed between performances the Actor shall have not less
than one hour rest period after the first performance and the Producer shall, at the
Producer's expense, provide the Actor with a hot meal. If the calls take place after the
second performance, refreshments shall be made available to the Actor(s) at the
Producer's expense.
(5) In the event the Producer requests a picture call for the purpose of replacing a
photograph required to be removed under the provisions of Rule 7, BILLING AND
PROGRAMS, or for other reasons resulting from the replacement of an Actor, and such
picture call involves three or less performers, the time and place of such picture call shall
be mutually arranged between the Producer and the Actors and such a call shall not be
considered a Company picture call under the above Rule.
(6) If the photographs are taken at a time other than hereinabove specified, or if the limit of
hours herein specified is exceeded, or if the limitation of Section (A) above is exceeded, the
Actor(s) shall be paid not less than one-eighth or one performance pro-rata, whichever is
greater, of contractual salary extra for each day or part thereof employed on such
photographing.
(7) In all cases under the control of the Producer, the Actor's name shall be properly
credited in the publicity whenever and wherever the photographs are used.
(8) If the Actor does not receive proper credit in photographs or publicity under the control
of the Producer, Equity or the Actor shall notify the Producer by certified letter return receipt
requested of the improper credit. If such error is not corrected by at least one week of
receipt of said notice to the Producer, the Producer must pay the Actor one-eighth or one
performance pro-rata, whichever is greater, of Actor's contractual salary for each day the
error remains uncorrected.
(C) If Actor performs any material from the show, it will be under terms specified by Equity.
