GOOD NEWS – Money for our Opera Pacific Members!!
AGMA is delighted to report the recovery of $252,768.54 in bankruptcy court.
AGMA asserted a claim against the Company’s bankrupt estate for pay owing to members under the “pay or play” clause of our contract for cancelled performances (specifically, for the cancelled 2009 productions of Grapes of Wrath and Salome.) After resolving litigation in bankruptcy court, AGMA was successful in recovering the sum of $252,768.54, which we are in the process of finalizing the distribution to members who were due pay under the “pay or play” clause.
Deadline for returning release forms is May 1, 2013
If you have any questions or concerns, you may call (310-215-9554) or email John Russum at .

AGMA and Actors’ Equity Make Peace
Of special interest to members is the fact that now members of either union can attend the other union’s auditions
AGMA members in good standing for at least one year and who have worked under an AGMA contract may join Equity by virtue of membership in AGMA. The cost to join Equity would be their then current initiation fee less the $500 initiation fee previously paid to AGMA. AGMA has a standard letter that needs to be presented to Equity upon joining. You can obtain that letter by calling the Membership Department at 212-265-3687.
Additionally, current member of Actors’ Equity may join AGMA as an affiliate union. In such a case, only half the Initiation Fee and $78 for annual Basic Dues are required ($328).
In addition, both AGMA and Equity members in good standing are allowed to attend the other union’s auditions without joining the other union.
