MEMBERS: ADVERTISE YOUR PRODUCTION! 
If you have a theatrical production or other industry-related event you would like to see promoted here, please contact AFTRA Northwest Membership Director, Chris Comte at ccomte@aftra.com, or contact the AFTRA Northwest office at 206-282-2506 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting            206-282-2506      end_of_the_skype_highlighting.

WE MAY HAVE $$ FOR YOU! 
Have you been out of touch with us for a while? Moved a few times and lost track? Been on withdrawal for a few years? Maybe you just worked that one job on “Bill Nye, The Science Guy” ages ago and never really thought about things like residuals? It’s possible we may be holding money for you in our “Unable To Locate” (UTL) account! 

 

The Seattle Local maintains this account specifically to safeguard monies received from producers on behalf of performers for whom we do not have current contact information. Although frequently these individual checks are very small, over time we may receive literally dozens of these for a performer and they can add up to a substantial amount. 

 

If you think you might be owed some back income from an old job, or if you know someone who's been "out of the business" for a while, we urge you to contact the Seattle office and update your mailing record. You never know, you might wind up with a nifty little bonus for your efforts!
