Random information on the term “AFTRA”:
The Actors’ Equity Association (AEA), commonly referred to as Actors’ Equity or simply Equity, is an American labor union representing the world of live theatrical performance, as opposed to film and television performance (which is represented by SAG-AFTRA). However, performers appearing on live stage productions without a book or through-storyline (vaudeville, cabarets, circuses) may be represented by the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA). As of 2010, Equity represented over 49,000 theatre artists and stage managers.
Actor’s Equity Association is currently under the direction of President Kate Shindle. AEA represents more than 51,000 actors and stage managers nationwide (Though the US Dept of Labor lists the number closer to 40,000). The AEA works to negotiate and provide performers and stage managers quality living conditions, livable wages, and benefits. There are three ways to become a member of Equity: through an AEA contract, EMC points or via a sister union. If you are offered a position under an AEA contract you may join during the term of your contract. Alternatively, you can become a member by generating a number of Equity Membership Candidacy Points (EMC). They do this by securing a position at an EMC-participating theatre and then registering as a candidate for Equity. For every week they work at a participating theatre, they accrue a point. Performers are required to earn a minimum of 25 weeks of EMC work along with a $400 initial payment in order to become an official Equity member. You can also become a member by virtue of prior membership in a performing arts sister union: SAG-AFTRA, AGMA, AGVA or GIAA. To qualify through this means, you must be a member of the sister union for at least a year, be a member in good standing at that union, and have worked as a performer under the union’s jurisdiction on a principal or “under-five” contract or at least three days of extra (“background”) work.
