Apprentice Actor definition
Apprentice Actor is a person who intends to make a career as an actor in the professional theatre and who is not a member of Equity or Actors’ Equity Association (U.S.). Equity agrees to consider any request from a member of a professional performing artists’ association or union for permission to register as an Apprentice where it can be demonstrated to Equity’s satisfaction that he/she wishes to apprentice in order to make a career in the live professional theatre. It is understood that children who are not members of Equity, but who are members of ACTRA, UdA or any other performing artists’ association or union may participate in a production as Local Jobbers. Furthermore, these child Performers may not be required to join Equity should their professional experience be limited solely to engagements in commercial advertisements in the electronic media and/or as background performers and/or broadcast journalists. Clause 1612(H)(3) shall not apply in the case of such children.
