In 2027, the Theatre Freelancers Branch will be putting together Rate Surveys for a variety of departments and roles:
Technicians/Tech (including Lighting, Sound, Video, AV, Automation technicians, Crew, Prod LXs, Technical Managers, etc.)
Set and/or Costume Designers
Costume/Wardrobe Departments (Costume Supervisors, Costume Makers, Dressers, Wardrobe Assistants, etc.)
Lighting, Sound, Video Designers
Scenic Department (Carpenters, Scenic Artists, Prop Makers, etc.)
Production Managers
Other roles not mentioned above (we know there are a huge variety of roles within our branch - we’d like to gather rate data on all kinds of roles)
We're looking for Members to be Role Champions for their departments/roles - our Role Champions will work with us to ensure that the questions we're asking are the right ones, and that we're reaching the right people.
The surveys aren't just asking about rates, they're also looking at:
Hidden costs
Overtime
Cancellation fees
Annual income
Attitudes
And more
