Backstage: While the implementation of tiers garnered more touring work for union actors, Equity felt there were still too many tours going out non-Equity. In 2008, Equity instituted SETA to capture the lower market. In its six categories, SETA covers musicals guaranteed to earn $185,000 to $287,000, and plays guaranteed to $200,000. All SETA shows must employ a minimum of 15 Equity contracts, but Categories 1 and 2 employ 22 contracts, Categories 3 and 4 employ 20 contracts, and Categories 5 and 6 employ 18 contracts.
