A discussion on pay equity with costume designers Christine Pascual and Elizabeth Wislar.
Christine is a member of On Our Team, an organization building pay and labor equity in the theatre industry, by requesting equitable pay and support for theatrical designers. Elizabeth is a member of Costume Professionals for Wage Equity and the two organizations are calling on Playbill to require clear rates of pay for listings on their job site. UPDATE: March 26, 2021 - Paybill began requiring clear pay rates for job listings on their site in response to this public call to action. |
