Actors Equity Association

Actors' Equity Association was founded in 1913 to protect Actors from the severe mistreatment that permeated the industry at that time. Since its inception Equity has had only twelve Presidents. Its current President is Tony Award winner Ron Silver. The 39,000 member Association consists of distinguished stars and other professional Actors and Stage Managers who work nationwide, from New York's Broadway to Los Angeles, from Minneapolis to Miami Beach, in regional, stock and dinner theatre, and in theatres for young audiences which build the audiences of tomorrow. These Actors and Stage Managers are committed to working in the theatre as a profession, not an avocation, and bring to you the finest professional training and experience. By presenting Equity productions, this theatre offers to you, our audience, the best entertainment presented by the finest quality Actors and Stage Managers that your admission dollars can buy. NOTE: You do not have to be a member of the ACTORS EQUITY ASSOCIATION to perform with the Staten Island Shakespearean Theatre Company!
