Playwrights, please let actors know if a role is a “5 & under” (lines) so that the actor can accept that role which doesn’t count towards their 2-3 role cap suggestion
Actors, let us know if you have 5-&-under lines for proper role count [As per a member relaying helpful information: “in accordance with SAG-AFTRA, the total # of words in the 5 lines or less must be below 50 – exceeding this reclassifies the role as a full part” – & since it’s not practical nor should we be expected to actually count words (& considering there is no comparable Equity rule about this,) we will continue to simply go by the total # of lines spoken (including sounds) that should be counted as a 5-and-under, NOT the amount of times the character is listed as speaking, where there could be long speeches within even those few times :)]

Actors, accept only 2 roles if possible!!
The 15 minute time clock starts when Don announces the playwright
