Hello all!
I have been a long-time lurker here, and knowing the rules I attempted to do a search for this topic. I didn't get any results, but if this is a topic that has been discussed in great detail and I just missed it I apologize!!!
I was recently hired on as a per-show tech director for a theater company that just fired their full-time TD and was not ready to recommit to another salary. It is a decent company, and is well-run but seems to not be into providing written contracts. As of now, I have not had any problems, and I trust the company's manager completely, however the Board of Directors (as most do) scare me a bit.
I wanted to create a very basic contract and submit that prior to each production I'm hired on for. I can think of most of the basics, but I was wondering if anyone has a similar contract that they would be able to post or share. I am not in the financial position that I want to pay a lawyer to create one for me, and I am not too too concerned about getting too in depth with it. I just want to make sure that I am not missing a seemingly obvious point I should add that could come back and haunt me down the road.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks to everyone for the years of information I have been getting out of these boards!
