"Actors’ Equity’s open membership program becomes permanent" by Broadway News' Ruthie Fierberg - "In a Feb. 8 email to members, Actors’ Equity Association declared that the union’s open membership initiative, Open Access, will go from a temporary program to permanent policy. When it began in July of 2021, Open Access allowed any actors and stage managers who are paid for work in those roles within Equity’s jurisdiction to be considered eligible for union membership. The rule was set to expire on May 1, 2023 but will instead continue indefinitely. …

Equity will “phase out” the EMC program over the next three years. Effective May 8, the union will not accept new EMC applicants. Current membership candidates will retain EMC status between now and May — which means these members will still receive priority access to Equity auditions. However, these EMC members will not accrue additional points towards Equity status as anyone can join the union through Open Access." https://bway.ly/3y0hkj
