LORT N a t i o n a l   A g r e e m e n t

The League of Resident Theatres (LORT) Agreement is used by not-for-profit professional regional theatres throughout the United States. Some Theatres employ resident companies each season, though most employ performers on a show-by-show basis. Five categories, based on actual weekly box office gross (averaged over a three year period), determine salary and personnel requirements. Local and overnight touring is permitted, but per diem is required when an actor performs overnight tours away from the Theatre. This agreement covers both dramatic and musical productions.
