| On Broadway and off-Broadway, they are usually retained if there are cast changes, plus there are required Equity calls for every show at set periods of time where someone from a casting office shows up. | |

| OK! PlayWiz, you've hit on something important. The fact that the casting office continues to "service" the show at set intervals says that their contribution is on going. That's an important point that the casting union advocates need to get out. |

| They surely DO work hard sometimes for decades on a production! The office of Tara Rubin (one of the leaders of this movement to protect her colleagues) STILL screens actors for every single role in every PHANTOM production around the world, for instance. And while some of us could say "well look at the hundreds to thousands of actors who struggle for health insurance 'cause they're not getting cast or sometimes even SEEN by these casting directors," they DO work hard & there ought to be a way for the producers to subsidize insurance to be provided by their union, no? | |
