| I'm not sure who the first was. Lincoln Center Theater was producing on Broadway at the Vivian Beaumont in the 80s. And before them there was the Repertory Theatre of Lincoln Center, and the Public also produced a few shows directly on Broadway (including at the Beaumont). As for pay scales, the Broadway non-profits are generally covered by the LORT (League of Resident Theaters) contract and are categorized as A+. Minimum weekly salary for actors through February 2022 was $1,778 per week compared to about $2,300 per week for actors on the Production contract (the standard Broadway contract). However, if a show is extended beyond its initial run (the exact length is defined in the contract and varies by company/theater) the prevailing Production Contract salaries will apply. I've linked the 2017-2022 LORT Rulebook below. The salary chart is on page 84 and then starting on 117 are addendums with specific provisions for each of the Broadway non-profits. |

| I see that IBDB lists a 1965 Vivian Beaumont production of Danton's Death as its first acknowledged production. I was once in a group of actors (eating!) discussing all these various contracts and their acronyms, like LORT etc. The actor Richard Woods, who had just performed at Williamstown, said that at Williamstown they had an FTA contract. Others question what that was. Richard explained: "F*** the actors." |
