The Canadian Theatre Agreement

The Canadian Theatre Agreement (CTA) is a formal contract between Canadian theater companies and performers, setting standards for working conditions, wages, benefits, and rights. It ensures fair treatment of actors and stage staff across productions by establishing consistent rules and dispute resolution procedures. The CTA promotes professionalism, safety, and equity within the industry, fostering a collaborative environment where creatives can work confidently. Essentially, it functions as a collective framework that protects workers and maintains industry standards nationwide.
