Didn't you say in an earlier thread that you were a regional theater producer? And you don't know what a dresser is?

He also didn't know the Equity minimum or what TDF was.

Well, we are not being nasty, but when a 16 year-old student knows a lot more than a producer, we have problems.

Sorry, if we're "hard" but what kind of "regional producer" -- i.e. the guy that pays the actors -- doesn't know what actors make?

Believe it or not I am actually an non working equity actor (it has been a while) the theatre I produce is not equity so I am not up on the latest.

Well, you should probably do at least a little studying before you spend thousands of dollars producing a show.

You should also study before being a regional producer.
Not being mean or anything, but these things are pretty basic.
Now go research what a dresser does and get back to us.

Don't worry Undiscovered, I think we're all a little short-tempered because of all these new members with false identities.

Equity actor? So I take it you missed that whole strike thing-y that almost happened a couple of months ago?
I have friends who have nothing to do with show business and have never read a theatre board in their lives who can quote the Equity minimum of the top of their head because the strike details were in the newspaper every single day for a month.
Equity actor? And you don't know the minimums? Or what a dresser is (how did you get an Equity card)? Or what the Theatre Development Fund is? And you're a PRODUCER, TOO?????
LOL

I know, I know, it's way too easy, ..... but there's something fun about exposing someone who's just a bald-faced liar. I'm done now

*points and laughs, then feels sorry and gives Matt a hug*
But darling, if you're going to post this stuff on a Broadway thread, and claim you're a producer, you should know what you're talking about.

Please do not make fun of him cause he doesnt know what a dresser is
I had an executive producer not know what an orchestra pit or a fly system was and thought that you used phone cable for sound systems
He was so stupid
