Was Light in the Piazza paid on LORT for its entire run? Did it start out on LORT etc.

What is LORT?

LORT is a type of contract that some shows at none for profit theatre ie Lincoln Center, Roundabout etc. are paid on, the actors generally are paid less.

I can't tell you for sure, but what I vaguely remember hearing is that is started with LORT and then changed later on in the run (aren't they required to?)...but I could easily be wrong about that.

The Lincoln Center Carousel revival was on a LORT contract the whole time.

How much would a lead actor (ie Vicki, Katie, Kelli, Matthew, Aaron etc) get paid on Lort?

Posted: 1/6/07 at 7:52am
'bout $1100. That's what Roundabout's Broadway houses pay.

what is Lort minimum?
#13
Posted: 1/6/07 at 1:36pm
Lincoln Center's LORT contracts are a tad higher than Roundabout and MTC. I guess the institution as a whole just makes more money. Im not sure what kind of contract they had when they extended but they definitely all got raises.

you should read the LORT / Equity contract, which is on the lort website (www.lort.org/library.htm), they have seperate agreements for all of the LORT broadway houses (aka LORT A+ houses)
The one show everyone on Broadway is waiting to see: Twyla Tharp presents: Big Bottom - The Spinal Tap Jukebox musical!

contrary to belief, Clark did not get paid even close to $1100 for LITP. but I'm not sure the contract the show was under, either.

It's my understanding that under an agreement with Equity, LCT, MTC and Roundabout can do limited engagements under a LORT contract, but for any extension they have to switch to the Standard Production Agreement. I've heard that's the main reason why, for example, several of Roundabout shows that were selling well (Assassins, Follies, Glengarry) closed somewhat prematurely -- the shows had reached the point in their runs where the switch to the more expensive contract was about to happen (after the 12th week? 16th?) and the advance wasn't high enough to justify the risk of continuing at the higher rate. Whereas for shows like Cabaret and Twelve Angry Men, the advance was so strong that it was deemed worth the risk to continue running under the Standard Production Agreement.
I don't know the particulars of PIAZZA, but I would assume that at a certain point in the run they too had to switch from the LORT to the Standard Agreement.
I could be wrong, though.

So how much would you estimate Vicki was making?
#18

No guess, but I'd assume that she'd have made a bit more (a little? a lot?) than the Equity minimum -- especially after she won the Tony (most performers get a bonus for that).

Like Margo said, PJG @ Roundabout could not extend beyond the limited engagement period b/c they had to increase the salary for the cast/crew. Poor Kelli, she couldn't get paid much in both Piazza nor PJG!

I am in high school, but I musically direct shows in my town and for the current middle school show I am making 1000 dollars for a month and a half of work. How much do you make TheatreDiva90016?

My point is, and I've posted this many times on this board, it is rude to ask someone how much they make. And as this is not even a private conversation, posting someones salary is even worse.
And I do very well, thank you.

glad to hear it, my point is not everybody shares your feelings about salary. Just like some people dont share age, my mother is 63 and my dad is 68, and they are both very proud of their age. So not everybody shares your feelings.
