I've just been hired as SM for a production working under the LA area 99-seat Plan. I have no real experience with Equity; this is my first non-college production.
I've read both the Plan Rulebook and the AEA SM packet, but I have some questions, especially in regard to the Deputy.
Since the 99-seat Plan isn't a regular Equity contract, can I call the AEA office to ask them questions? I'm not an Equity member. (I should note that I have no problem calling them to ask; just unsure whether I'm "allowed" to call without being a union member.)
Additionally, this is my first show with this company, and I just want to make sure that I do everything perfectly -- I guess I'm being super-careful, and I don't want to offend anyone (Producer, AEA, etc.) with my overeagerness!
