Performer’s Pay Scale

Stage Factors

Stage acting rehearsal rates depend on location, the kind of show and the size of the theater. A touring Broadway show in 2013 paid actors a flat $1,754 a week, whether they were traveling, rehearsing or performing. On top of that, they received bonuses based on the size of the role and a per diem for meals and lodging. A San Francisco play in a theater with fewer than 100 seats paid actors $196 a week. If the show is non-Equity, rates will be lower.
