ACTORS EQUITY ASSOCIATION (AEA), founded in 1913 was the first of the American Actors’ Unions and now represents more than 45,000 actors, singers, dancers, and stage managers nationally. Equity members are dedicated theatre professionals who uphold the highest artistic standards. Historically, AEA has stood at the forefront of many issues, including: civil rights (from the historic 1947 boycott of the then-segregated National Theatre in Washington D.C. to the 1986 founding of the Non-Traditional Casting Project); preserva- tion of historic theatres (it initiated the land-marking of all of the Broadway theatres); national, state and local funding for the arts (AEA helped to create the National Endowment for the Arts); and arts lobbying to advance, foster, and benefit all those connected with the art of theatre. A member of the AFL-CIO, AEA is affiliated with the Federated International Artists (FIA), an international organization of performing arts unions.
