Broadway lighting designer Beverly Emmons discusses commercial theatre practices for designers.
Topics:
⭐️ Adding riders onto your contract
⭐️ Theatre Law which aims to protect investors’ money
⭐️ W2 and 1099 and how that impacts copyright for designers
⭐️ The history of the theatre design union - United Scenic Artists
⭐️ Those union contracts, what they protect, and how they’re helpful for expediting theatre negotiations because so many things are spelled out already, so there isn’t need for a lot of negotiation.
