I am working for a new theater company going into its second season. It is a small company and I was given the task of creating contracts so that some issues that came up last year does not happen again and to protect the company and actors. My experience is in community and educational theater where there is little contract use.
I have been on the actors equity site and been searching through some of the contracts and rules listed there. But I would to know if any of you have some advice for me. If you had the opportunity to write a contract what would you include/improve on/delete? Some of the things that I know have to be addressed are stage combat, housing, and touring.
