If you don't know already, Obama signed an executive order that raised the threshhold for overtime salaried "exempt" employees from salary's that equal 455 dollars a week to salary's that equal 913 dollars a week. In other words if you are salaried and make less then 48k a year you will now be entitled to overtime if you work over 40 hours a week. This law goes into affect December 1, 2016.

Been asking around to other people in the area about this. Many are hourly already and don't care. However, a few that this would greatly affect don't know about it. There is no non-profit or minimum employee out like Obamacare has. In my view this is going to drastically change the game for most rep theatres that employee people for a whole season on a salaried basis.
So, how is your business/theatre dealing with this?
