- Re:Dear Screen Actors Guild Member
Before you vote here are some facts that the slight majority of our
National Board has neglected to tell you.
Main changes if this contract is voted up;
1. Loss of Residuals -
At the day-player scale rate, every actor will lose
$2,000.00 for each day they work. They will also, lose
14.8% for pension & health($296.00) It will be replaced
with $22.77($3.33 for pension and health) for 6 months of
streaming on the net. Although this will be bad for each
actor on an individual level, can you imagine how fast our
pension and health fund will dry up? They are going to show
all re-runs on the internet. No more re-runs on TV. There
is a lot of room to negotiate between $2,000.00 and $22.77
and many of us feel that they can go back to the table and
do a better job!
2. Non-Union work in Original Made for New Media Productions -
Unless the budget is $25,000.00/minute or more(average thus
far is $2500.00), the producers will use 32 pages of our
contract full of exclusions and requirements to decide who
is a "Qualified Performer". And then, they can produce with
only that one SAG cast member and the rest of the cast can
be all Non-Union yet they will want us to call it a SAG
Production! If voted up, this trend can easily spread to TV
and Film.
3. Clip Consent -
Since 1960, we have had Clip Consent. If a producer wants
to use one of your clips in a movie, tv show, documentary,
on the internet, etc., they must first get your permission,
and then negotiate a price for the use. If this contract is
voted up, the producers can use your clips 'intact' in any
project they choose(what if the project involves subject
matter that you are opposed to?). With the current state of
Computer Generated Images, they can also take you out of
context and have you doing things you would never have
consented to do in the first place. They will be able to do
all of this without your consent, and without paying you.
4. Product Integration -
We all know about Product Placement, but if this contract
passes, we will all become commercial spokespeople for the
particular products in the tv show or film. If the product
is Coke, and you are already a Pepsi spokesperson, make a
choice. You will lose either your Pepsi sponsorship, or that
roll. You will not be payed for the endorsement of the
product. You will not receive residuals when they use the
Clip Consent Clause and take your product endorsement out
of the project and use it separately as a commercial. And,
finally, the pool of regular separate commercials necessary
to sell products will become smaller because many of us will
be doing commercials and promoting products as part of our
artistic expression in a given scene in any given project.
5. Force Majeure -
Since 1937, this is what protects you once you have been
booked and you spend many hours learning your part and
getting into character, and also turning down other
lucrative work because you are already booked. If they
book you, and production is halted do to a strike, or an
act of God, or any other reason, they must pay you five
weeks at half your rate. As of right now, the producers
owe SAG Actors at least $60,000,000.00 and as much as
$400,000,000.00 for last years strike. If this contract
is voted up, the producers will have to pay only
$20,000,000.00 total, and each member will have to
bargain individually for Force Majeure protection. The
obvious strength in numbers of the collective bargaining
of SAG will no longer provide Force Majeure protection.
If you are not an 'A' list actor, good luck!

Zeitgeist Stage Company will kick-off its eight season with the American premiere of the original three act version of Edward Albee's Seascape, October 3 through 25 at the Boston Center for the Arts Plaza Theater.
Seascape is one of Edward Albee's most expressionistic works, depicting an encounter between a retirement age couple picnicking on a beach when they meet another couple, who happen to be lizards – as in reptiles – coming up from the depths of the ocean. Mr. Albee originally wrote Seascape as a three act play, and that version was presented in Vienna and The Hague prior to the show's Broadway premiere. The author was directing the original Broadway production, and he decided to cut it from three acts to two. As Mr. Albee told The New York Times in a 1975 interview, "At one point, part of it took place at the bottom of the sea. It was not necessary, too fantastic and very hard to construct a set that could transform itself. It was turning into a play about set changes." With the excision of the underwater act,Seascape became the well known two act version which went on to win the 1975 Pulitzer Prize. Zeitgeist Stage is pleased to have received permission directly from the playwright to present Seascape in its original three act version for the first time for an American audience. (Talk about a coup de theatre!)
Both the length and technical challenges of the three act Seascape are embraced by Zeitgeist Stage Company, renowned in Boston for their recent epic productions of Stuff Happens and The Kentucky Cycle, which both won Elliot Norton Awards for Outstanding Fringe Theater Productions. The Seascape cast features Peter Brown (Stuff Happens, The Kentucky Cycle) and Michelle Dowd (The Story, Bee-luther-hatchee) as the retirement age couple, with Claude Del (Flesh and Blood) and Emma Goodman (The Kentucky Cycle) as the lizards. The production will be directed by Zeitgeist Stage Company's Artistic Director, David J. Miller.
Bad Jazz, by Robert Farquhar, chronicles the lives of young artists in pursuit of a shared dream, as an actress takes a role that puts her sanity at risk, an actor struggles to remain true to his artistic ideals, and a director drives his company past the point of reason. When the lines between reality and performance begin to blur, relationships are tested and this group of desperate souls is forced to ask themselves how far they're prepared to go for art's sake. In The New York Times, Neil Genzlinger wrote, "The play is an all-out assault on pretentious theater directors and the idiot actors who follow their commands in the interest of realism. And Mr. Farquhar has a wonderful way of being droll and outrageous at the same time." Zeitgeist Stage will present the New England premiere of Bad Jazz from January 30 through February 21, 2009 in the Plaza Black Box Theater at the Boston Center for the Arts.
Spring Awakening, the play by Frank Wedekind, has been called the most censored play in theater history. The complete, unadulterated text was not performed until 1974, eight-two years after it was written in 1891. The play explores the conflict between repressive adulthood and adolescent sexual longings in a provincial town in Germany at the turn of the last century. Wedekind's play was the basis for the Tony Award winning musical of the same name. Zeitgeist Stage will be presenting Wedekind's original play in a new adaptation by Artistic Director David Miller based on a direct translation by Reinhold Mahler, who is both Mr. Miller's partner and a German native. The play will be presented April 17 through May 9, 2009 in the Plaza Black Box Theater at the Boston Center for the Arts. The run will overlap a few weeks with the musical Spring Awakening's National Tour which will play the Colonial Theater in Boston from April 28 through May 24, 2009. - Plymouth Rock Studios: Planning Board Workshop!

- Joseph O'Connor
I saw the play Red Roses and Petrol in Cambridge some years ago. It was Joseph O'Connor's first stage play. I was amazed by it. I had never seen the play in the theater by the time I saw Red Roses and Petrol. I have seen many stages since I saw it but I still can't forget his one.
Does anyone saw it there?? - Sorry for the delays-everything should be up ASAP!
