The Second City engages Artists under the Equity Second City Agreement.
The current agreement expires December 31, 2028.
It’s important to take the time to read the ESCA in its entirety to understand everyone’s rights and responsibilities under the agreement.
Engagers are responsible for maintaining safe and respectful workplaces. The Engager has a further obligation to provide workers with a recourse for raising concerns without fear of reprisal and to promptly investigate any safety concerns or incidents of inappropriate behaviour in the workplace.
Whether you need help with a contract, have questions about your agreement, or need to report a safety concern, Equity’s Business Reps are available to answer your questions and provide support.
The Second City — known for groundbreaking improv comedy — first opened its doors in Chicago in the winter of 1959. The Second City Toronto followed in 1972 and quickly became a launch pad for some of the funniest people in history, including John Candy, Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, and Mike Myers.
Equity’s first collective agreement with The Second City was negotiated in 2019.
