We are doing a benefit show, 2 performances only, and one of the actors is equity. (I did not do the casting.) I know I'm supposed to fill out their forms and even pay them - which really irritates me as we're a tiny theatre barely holding on. So my question is - what if I just forgot? Does everyone here always follow all equity rules? Many theatres I worked for in NYC followed the basic guidelines if not all the letters of the law. Just curious what happens out here.

Is the equity actor expecting to be paid?
