Changes in Cast Clause Samples
Changes in Cast. (1) All understudies and their roles must be listed in the program unless requested by the understudy not to be listed.
(2) When an Understudy takes the place of an Actor whose part listed in the program is a specifically identifiable character, or where such an Actor is replaced by another Actor (except in an emergency which occurs at or after half-hour, in which case an announcement shall be made from the stage), announcement to this effect shall be made in two out of the following three ways:
(a) Through the insertion of a printed slip in all programs.
(b) By means of an announcement from the stage.
(c) By means of a sign conspicuously and prominently posted at the entrance to the theatre at the place where tickets of admission are collected. This sign shall be at least eight by ten inches in size, with letters at least one inch high.
(3) In all of the above cases, such announcements shall include the role, the name of the Actor playing such role and the name of the Actor replaced unless the Actor replaced requests, in writing, the omission of said Actor’s name.
(4) For each failure to give the required notice of substitution, the Theatre agrees to pay the Actor whose part is played by an Understudy or another Actor, and also such Understudy or other Actor, a sum equal to 1/8th of Actor’s own weekly salary, extra. (5)
(a) Unless Equity shall otherwise order, the Theatre shall not require the Actor to alternate with an Understudy or a successor, and if replaced by either without the Actor’s consent, the Actor may not be thereafter required (unless Equity otherwise orders) to act again in the part or to report to the theatre for that purpose. Payments, however, shall continue to be made to the Actor according to the terms of the Actor’s agreement.
(b) However, an Actor may agree in a rider to the Actor’s contract to alternate performances with another Actor. Notice that a role is being performed by more than one Actor must be stated in the program and the Actor performing must be properly identified. If such notice is not included in the printed program, then any change of cast must be announced in accordance with section (E)(2) above.
