What contracts will you NOT review?
The Guild cannot review any contracts that you have already signed, since any advice offered in that context could be interpreted as legal advice. The Guild will also only review contracts that involve a Guild member, and ONLY in a member’s capacity as a playwright, librettist, lyricist or composer.
The following agreements will NOT be reviewed: agreements from non-members, member agreements not related to theaters, theater-related agreements from members working in a non-authorial capacity.
