Notes from the Field: A Frank Conversation on Pay Equity in the American Theatre
Hosted by Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York (A.R.T./New York) and live streamed on HowlRound.
This panel brings together a national group of advocates who are provoking conversations around the need for more equitable pay structures in our field: What does it take for a theatrical worker to make a living in 2024? What progress has been made? Where can we go from here? What experiments in pay structures and ways of working have met success? We invite you to witness this robust conversation and listen for ways to support a vibrant, diverse theatrical workforce.

Brídín Clements Cotton & Natalie Robin, Co-Authors of Theatre Work: Reimagining the Labor of Theatrical Production.
