contracted as outlined above and shall be paid pro-rata for each performance.

agreed at the time of signing Actor’s original contract of employment that any payments
over minimum salary shall cover set and prop moves as set forth herein.

which address shall conform to that registered with the AEA Membership Department, the Actor

be held at the theatre where the company is playing.
