Dear Sir/Madam:
Re:
Toronto Blue Man Group Production
On behalf
of Canadian Artists' Representation Ontario/le Front des artistes
canadiens (CARFAC
Ontario), I would like express my support to all the associations
and unions who represent professional
performers, artists, musicians, directors, and technicians
in Toronto. You have refused
to negotiate contracts with Toronto's major theatrical associations
and unions: Canadian Actors'
Equity Association (CAEA), the International Alliance of Theatrical
Stage Employees (IATSE) and
the Toronto Musicians' Association (TMA).
The Blue
Man Group should be more understanding of the Canadian cultural
environment.
Blockbuster productions such as Mama Mia and The
Lion King have been phenomenally successful,
while still respecting the rights of artists and technicians.
This is because they adhered
to the agreements laid out by Equity, IATSE and the TMA. These
agreements reflect the
Canadian tradition, which has always ensured that our community's
artists and technicians are
dealt with fairly, equitably and respectfully.
CARFAC
Ontario represents the voice of 700 professional visual and
media artists in the
province of Ontario. Our focus is on the economic livelihood
and fair treatment of members
and non-members alike. We are very sympathetic to the work
of our sister/brother organizations
and strongly insist that you make the effort to abide by and
benefit from the rules that have
made Toronto the theatrical force that is.
Sincerely,
Kristian
Clarke
Co-Director
CARFAC Ontario
