| Is there any resident acting company in the US currently doing this? I would agree that it sounds financially tricky. One of the big theaters here has a pseudo-resident acting troupe from whom they draw many of their actors, which they call an "incubator" for new works. They do readings, workshops, etc, beyond the big shows that they do. I think they have some kind of mechanism to pay some kind of stipend, but I think the pay for those who aren't in the current big show is pretty low. | |

| Some regional theatres have resident actors signed to season contracts. Another model is the theatre+school or education component wherein the actors have non-acting functions included in their compensation to make it a (presumably not that high-paying) full time undertaking. I don't think the Pearl ever pretended to be a full time year round gig. In NYC, the other model is, I think, still (perhaps in some variation) involved at Atlantic, if nowhere else. | |

| Even members of the Pearl's "resident acting company" were only paid for the productions they were in. | |
