The INDIE engagement policy is used by small scale non- or semi-professional theatre companies or producers who have limited budgets and limited resources. Equity has made significant efforts to reduce the administrative burden of the INDIE, allowing theatre companies to focus their time and energy on the artistic and creative process.
Every Artist participating in an INDIE production is required to have an Equity contract, whether they are an Equity member or not.
It’s important to take the time to read the INDIE terms to understand everyone’s rights and responsibilities under the agreement.
