EQUITY AND PACT ANNOUNCE A NEW CREATION CONTRACT
-----------------------------------------
The Tangerine Project is ready for a test run!

Equity and PACT are pleased to announce that the Tangerine Project is now available. This pilot project is designed to offer more flexible contracting options for the development and production of new work. From creation to production, the Tangerine Project offers an easy and integrated way to go from an idea to opening night.

Jointly created by both Equity and PACT, and with thoughtful consideration for the changing needs of new performance creation and the challenges that new work often confronts, the Tangerine Project is an innovative addendum to the current Canadian Theatre Agreement. 

Information and application documents have been posted on both the PACT and Equity websites - http://www.caea.com and http://www.pact.ca.

All independent producers, theatre companies as well as PACT members and affiliates are welcome to submit applications to work under the Tangerine Project. Independent producers and theatre companies that are not PACT members or affiliates should contact Nan Carson (see  below) for more information.

PACT and Equity hope that the test run by the theatre community will be productive for both theatres and artists. The project will also provide useful information about current theatre practice in order to inform future CTA negotiations.
