Cabaret Rulebook 07-11 - Actors

(I) The Stage Manager shall not be permitted to act, understudy or serve as Dance Captain or
Fight Captain. The Assistant Stage Manager shall not be permitted to act, but may understudy as
specified above, provided it is so stated in the Assistant Stage Manager's contract; and further
provided that, except in an emergency, the Assistant Stage Manager is not required to perform
any understudy duties until two weeks after the first paid public performance. An ASM/U/S must
be present at the theatre for every performance.
(J) Continuous Employment. No Stage Manager or Assistant Stage Manager shall be required to
do any work of any nature whatever without an individual contract executed after security has
been properly posted with Equity and said Stage Manager (or Assistant Stage Manager) has
received instructions from the Producer as to said Stage Manager's (or Assistant Stage
Manager's) duties. Stage Managers and Assistant Stage Manager's shall be employed
continuously, commencing with the date specified on the individual contract, which in the case of
the Stage Manager may not be later than one week prior to the first rehearsal date. In no event
shall pre-production salary be less than contractual salary.
(1) Whenever a Stage Manager or Assistant Stage Manager does work related to the
production, which shall include but not limited to attending meetings, scheduling and
contacting the cast, crew and liaison, said work shall be regarded as part of the work week.
(2) Should the Producer require the Stage Manager to perform any duties related to the
production prior to the week before the beginning of rehearsals or the Assistant Stage
Manager to perform any duties related to the production any time prior to the beginning of
rehearsals, the Producer shall pay said Stage Manager at the rate of no less than one-sixth
or one performance pro-rata, whichever is greater, of contractual salary for each day or part
thereof of employment. In these cases no contract is required to be signed, but a letter of
intent shall be signed and filed with Equity, signifying Producer's intent to employ the Stage
or Assistant Stage Manager.
(3) Post-Production. When the Stage Manager or Assistant Stage Manager is required to
perform services in a production after the production has closed, the Stage Manager or
Assistant Stage Manager shall be paid at the rate of no less than one-sixth or one
performance pro-rata, whichever is greater, of Stage Manager's contractual salary for each
day or part thereof, of such employment. This payment shall be subject to Pension and
Working Dues.
(K) Should a Stage Manager and/or Assistant Stage Manager, while under contract for a Cabaret
production, be called upon to perform additional services for a "Class A Production," National
Tour, Bus & Truck, Las Vegas, other production, or any other version of that production, for which
the Stage Manager and/or ASM is under contract, and in which the Producer bears a financial
interest, the Stage Manager and/or Assistant Stage Manager and the Producer (or Producer's
designee) shall negotiate an additional compensation for such additional services in an amount
which shall not be less than one-sixth of the appropriate minimum for the subsequent production
or the current contractual salary, or one performance pro-rata, whichever is greater, for each day
or part thereof for which services were rendered.
