There is a theatre in my city that produces works in two separate spaces and each space is on a different LORT contract. The main stage is a LORT C and the 2nd stage is a LORT D. In my experience with this theatre, there has only been one AEA stage manager employed on each production regardless of whether that production was done on the main stage or at the 2nd stage. This theatre is moving up to a LORT B status next season (I think the main stage is moving to LORT B and the 2nd stage is moving to LORT C). Apparently the main stage is required to have an AEA ASM for each production they do. I couldn't find the specifics of this in the LORT contract but I am curious about how many stage managers are required for a production depending on what tier of LORT the theatre uses. All I know is that if the theatre mounts a musical, I believe there has to be an Equity ASM. I would appreciate any feedback on this. Thank you!!
