Conversely, because NY has the showcase code, the small respected theaters use that and there's no reason not to go Equity.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16073241969401141732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-1155051097901965712006-08-08T11:31:00.000-04:002006-08-08T11:31:00.000-04:00Really!What the F"" is with AEA?I don't understand...Really!<BR/><BR/>What the F"" is with AEA?<BR/><BR/>I don't understand how they can have different rules in different parts of the country.
