I've never had this happen before, and I'm kind of at a loss. I know we all do this for the love of theatre, and all of us have "let things slide" in order to get the show up at least once or twice. This is especially true of smaller equity houses.
But this is ridiculous.
There are violations aplenty on this particular show, and all of them are because of the producing organization, and, namely, the producer himself. At first, there was good faith that these small things would get fixed, so I "let things slide" in the beginning. Now the "good" faith is gone, and we must count on ourselves to get the job done, which forces us to violate our own rules so that the show will happen (actors doing their own laundry, myself and other actors finding props and repairing set pieces for safety purposes, etc.). Basically, I have come to believe that this company should never have been granted the right to use AEA contracts, because they clearly are nowhere near AEA-caliber.
So, my question is, when and how do I report these violations to the union? And how do I do so without reporting our own personal violations as actors and SM? And this may sound stupid, but my SM weekly report only allows me to report violations for actors, why isn't there a form for producer violations? Because that's what I need! Any advice for how to blow the whistle here without hurting myself or my actors in the process?
