Guess What, Audiences? Those (Non-Equity) Actors Probably Aren’t Paid

THEATRE Posted: April 13, 2014 9:56 am

“That hot four-star show? Those incredible performances? Surely, those actors are getting paid, right? Usually not. Or if they are, it is a flat-fee stipend of a couple hundred dollars for the entire run (rates vary among theaters) that might average out to $30 or $40 a week. That’s not including all those weeks of rehearsal, which come with no wages at all.”
