COMPENSATION
All NextStage actors of any age are always paid. Actors will have two avenues of compensation for this production.
Base pay: Our actors split half of our gross ticket proceeds and donations.
Our Actor Tip Jar: We set up a virtual tip jar through PayPal that can be accessed before, during, and after our production. There is no minimum or maximum that actors can be paid in this fashion. This is an account we have set up so anyone can donate and the proceeds are divided evenly at the end of the production. We've had great success with this system from our past productions.
