and Actors’ Equity Association have extended the agreement struck last year 2020 that makes it easier for producers to offer live streaming and other recorded video of stage productions.
But those efforts to capture stage plays on video also created some headaches for the industry’s two largest performers unions, SAG-AFTRA and Actors’ Equity. SAG-AFTRA typically has jurisdiction over video content while Equity rules the live stage. The deal reached last year allows Equity to set compensation terms with actors for live-stream and recorded stage events.
The pact covers a relatively small amount of activity for both unions, but it’s a sign of the times. Broadway shows have been hit hard in the past two weeks by COVID outbreaks among cast and crew members, as have sports leagues and other activities that revolve around close strenuous contact among workers and large crowds.
