REMINDER TO ALL TELEVISION/THEATRICAL
SIGNATORIES REGARDING AUDITIONS AND
AUDITION SIGN-IN SHEETS
This notice is intended to serve as a reminder and to draw your attention to certain requirements
of the Basic and Television Agreements, the compliance of which, we are informed, is often times
lacking.
Specifically, we refer to those sections of the Basic Agreement dealing with audition sign-in
sheets, providing scripts and providing parking. Please see Schedule A, Section 14; Schedule B,
Section 19F; Schedule C, Section 44D and any corresponding provision of the Television
Agreement.
To summarize:
1. Sign-in sheets shall be required at the place where the performer is first directed to
report. These must be available to SAG-AFTRA, upon request, for a period of 30 days.
2. Scripts are required to be accessible to the performer 24 hours in advance of a
scheduled reading. Your attention is drawn to the requirement that the entire script (not
just sides) must be accessible to the performer in the casting office. However, you need
not allow the script to be removed from the casting office so as to avoid loss or additional
expense.
3. With respect to parking within Los Angeles County, if parking space is not provided or
readily available, Producer will validate or reimburse parking costs incurred by performer
in connection with interviews.
We are compelled to issue this reminder, recognizing that the foregoing is an important part of
our collective bargaining agreement. The absence of compliance with these requirements is
considered a breach of the good faith on which our negotiations are based. Further, the quality of
performance is contingent upon the ability of the performer to be fully prepared to deliver the most
professional performance possible.
Your careful attention to these matters will be appreciated.
