How to become an ACTRA Member
|
Membership in ACTRA is open to any performer who has enrolled in the Apprentice Membership Program and has attained six professional engagements under ACTRA jurisdiction, or has, in recognition of the barriers confronting the disabled and members of visible minorities, three professional engagements under ACTRA jurisdiction, or has membership in a sister organization.
Regardless of the path taken to Membership, ACTRA Members may only work in ACTRA jurisdiction on engagements and productions signed to an ACTRA collective agreement, and may only work with performers who are ACTRA Members in good standing or otherwise qualified by ACTRA.
ACTRA Members may not work for a fee or under conditions less than the minimum set out in the relevant agreement. This is necessary in order to enforce collective agreements and create an environment where professional performers have control over their working lives.

- the right to a fair wage.
- the right to compensation for use of the performers' image and performance.
- the right to safe and acceptable working conditions.
- the right to artistic freedom.
