• Broadway & First-Class Tours
o If you are an Associate Member or Full Member working as an Associate or Resident on a Broadway production or first class tour, the elective SDC Associate Contract is available for you to request. If secured, Associate Members are required to upgrade to Full Membership prior to the effective date of their contract.
• Non-Equity Tours
o If you are a Full Member working as an Associate on a Non-Equity Tour, the producer is required to file an SDC contract for your work.
o If you are working as a Restager on a Non-Equity Tour, regardless of your Membership status, the producer is required to cover you on an SDC contract. This contract requires that you join SDC or upgrade to Full Membership prior to the first rehearsal date.
• Regional Musical Theatre
o If you are a Full Member working as an Associate or Assistant at a theatre covered by the Regional Musical Theatre Agreement, the theatre is required to file an SDC contract for your work.

If your Associate or Assistant work is outside of these jurisdictions, you can be a Member and still take these jobs.
