| While the terms of the contract can be frozen for a period of time, it cannot exceed the term period of the contract. By now most every Broadway contract has likely expired, therefore none of them are binding as a result of the freeze anymore. Notwithstanding any renewal obligations built into the original contracts, of course. | |

| As I said, the production contract specifically addresses this and it has been addressed by the bargaining parties. Someone posted that there was a maximum 18 month suspension, which is not in the contract, and I asked for the source of this information but the person did not post a response. In any case, that does not alter the fact that the contract can be frozen, suspended, and extended beyond its original term. Note however, as I posted, that it cannot be enforced against the actor in any event. | |

| This is straight for the horse’s (AEA) mouth. Principal Term Contracts expire 18 months after the beginning of their term, including shutdown time. For example, a Principal Term Contract beginning on January 10, 2020 would expire on July 10, 2021 unless the member and employer mutually agree to extend. |

| I was not doubting what you had written, which is that you got the info from Equity. What I was asking is what the source for the information they communicated to you since it is not in the contract. In other words, was this included in some understanding reached between Equity and the League in connection with the shutdown? Or was it based on some interpretation by Equity unilaterally (and if so what)? Also, just to reiterate, either way the post I labelled as incorrect (saying that the term contract expired on its original expiration date, i.e., that a 1/10/20 one year term contract would expire on 1/9/21) is incorrect based on what you have conveyed. And thanks for posting what you got. | |

| No, what I wrote is not incorrect. The contract term does not change as a result of a suspension of the contract. During a suspension, neither party is obligated to perform obligations of the contract. Once the contract term expires, the contract is no longer enforceable. A suspension does not change the term date of the contract. Unless there is something written in the contract that extend the term date as a result of a suspension, or ALL parties agree to amend the contract once it is determined it needs to be suspended, then the contract ends on its original date and cannot be enforced. | |
