“In a letter sent last week to members, the guild explained that NYMF’s new contract entitles the festival to 2 percent of the applicant and author’s gross ‘on all income received from the play in excess of $20,000 over 10 years.'” The guild says that’s “too high for a presenting festival that already asks participants to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket.”
