Very disturbing. I rehearsed for a few weeks with the company of HAMLET at the Odyssey before I had to leave for a paid gig. I don’t even remember an Ann Colby Stocking, but that’s no matter. The thing is, because they weren’t paying me, I was able with no strings, and only benevolent wishes and fine fellow feeling, to take the paying acting job I was offered. If I were being paid (minimum wage!) I’d have had to, miserably and unremuneratively, stay in HAMLET.
I wish Ann had gotten a tv guest shot and had to leave. Then we’d be spared this bait and switch lawsuit threat.

Actually, AEA contracts (e.g.SPT, HAT, 99-Seat Agreement) have More Remunerative Clauses in them that guarantee the right to take higher-paying jobs.
