[NEohioPAL] Other People's Money

Wed Oct 1 17:57:56 PDT 2008

 Out of fairness to all Actors' Equity Association (AEA) artists, I would
like to share a couple of facts that were not yet mentioned in this
exchange.

I have no idea who the actor is in this case, but I do know that Cesear's
Forum employs AEA actors under a *Special Appearance Agreement*, which
provides a rule allowing actors to take *"more remunerative employment" *with
48 hours notice.  As I understand it, the actor gave Cesear's Forum 2 weeks
notice.

You can argue the logic of that AEA provision all day long, but it was the
actor's right to take that other gig.

You can learn more about AEA contracts at
