Well Equity has been trying to change things so the actors get paid minimum wage - fat chance - no one could afford that and if they can then NYMF has lost all sense of what it was and its beginnings. Even back when FJL and I did our shows there it was a joke. A budget cap that no one paid attention to and productions were spending, even a decade ago, a hundred grand for their NYMF shows - renting storage trucks so they could have bigger and better sets than anyone else. When NYMF began it began as a level playing field. It is anything BUT level now - it's all about how much money you have, who has the best sound, lights, sets, band, name cast - it's a bloody joke and not an especially funny one. And they come like lemmings from all over the country to spend all that money. It was horrid ten years ago (and it is exactly ten years since I came to NY to begin rehearsals for The Brain), and it's ten times worse now.
