Differing Categories Clause Samples

Differing Categories. When a Theatre occupies more than one (1) venue with differing Categories, any Artist engaged for more than one (1) venue shall be paid at no less than the minimum fee applicable for the venue possessing the highest Company Category for the duration of his/her engagement at each venue, unless the Artist is engaged under a separate contract for his/her engagement at each venue. To determine the applicable company category for touring productions which are not under the provisions of Article 55:00, the Theatre shall calculate the total box office potential for the total number of performance weeks and divide the total amount of potential box office revenue by the number of performance weeks. For the purposes of this calculation, a performance week is any engagement week in which five (5) or more public performances are presented. For engagement weeks in which fewer than five (5) performances are given, each such performance is counted as one-eighth (1/8) of a week. In the circumstances where the touring company’s production is part of a subscription series, the gross potential box office calculation for that part of the tour would be discounted by the pro-rated amount of the host venue’s subscription discount from the last comparable series. Stage Management staffing requirements may remain consistent with the initial run of the production unless the new venue conditions dictate otherwise.
