As the industry gradually reopens and audiences renew their love for live performance arts, we begin to consider the contracts our members work under, policies requiring review, and those agreements set to expire in the new year.
Equity members who have worked under an agreement or policy listed below are encouraged to contribute to the negotiation or review process.
Suggestions for improvements should be shared with Executive Director, Arden R. Ryshpan, by email at
agreements@caea.com by the stated deadlines.
