Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the difference between a participation fee and a Lifetime Member?
A. Downriver Actors Guild has required individuals who are participating in their productions to purchase a participation fee. Participation fees help defer the cost of the production expenses and will cover the individual under our insurance.
Q. Am I covered by your insurance if I am not Lifetime Member?
A. Yes. Downriver Actors Guild, in conjunction with their 10 year anniversary, wanted to give back to the our members and make theater more affordable. Beginning with the 2020 - 2021 season you will no longer be required to purchase a membership and participation fee to be involved with one of our productions. The membership fee has been absorbed into the participation fee. By purchasing a participation fee you will be considered a member of Downriver Actors Guild for that season.
Q. When I purchased a membership in the past, I received two tickets for the season. Will I still receive tickets with my participation fee?
A. No. Participation fees do not include tickets for our productions.
Q. What if I only want to work backstage or help with concessions? How will I become a member without paying for a participation fee? How will I be covered by your insurance?
A. Participation fees are required by the performers in our productions. In order to be considered a member, individuals that are not performing will be required to purchase a membership for $5.00. The $5.00 membership is available in the DAG Store and will cover the individual for that one season. Memberships will need to be purchased for each season.
Q. Can I just purchase the $5.00 membership instead of the participation fee and still perform in the production?
A. No. All performers in the production are required to pay the participation fee.
Q. What is the difference between a Lifetime Membership and the old membership?
A. Lifetime Membership means you are considered a member of Downriver Actors Guild for life. You will not be required to purchase a membership each year. You will also receive two tickets each per season which can be used for any of our main stage productions.
Q. If I am a Lifetime Member does that mean my spouse, significant other, children are Lifetime Members?
​
A. No. Lifetime Membership is granted to an individual. Lifetime membership benefits do not extend to spouses, significant others, or family members unless those individuals were granted a Lifetime Membership or if they purchased a Lifetime Membership during the promotion.
​
Q. If I am a Lifetime Member does that mean only I can use the two tickets?
A. No. The tickets can be used at the Lifetime Members' discretion. If the Lifetime Member chooses to reserve the tickets and give them to a family member or friend, that is their decision.
Q. Can my family member or friend call to reserve my Lifetime Member tickets?
A. No. Downriver Actors Guild requires the Lifetime Member to reserve the tickets. This is an effort to ensure nobody is reserving the Lifetime Member's tickets without their knowledge. Once the tickets are reserved the Lifetime Member is free to distribute the tickets as they wish.
Q. My spouse and I both purchased Lifetime Memberships. Do we both have voting rights?
A. No. Voting rights have not changed. Per the By-Laws each household only receives one vote at elections and special assemblies. If two Lifetime Members reside at the same household they will only receive one vote.
Q. I purchased a Lifetime Membership, but now I am moving. Can I give my Lifetime Membership to my mother or can my membership fee be refunded?
A. No. Lifetime Memberships are not refundable or transferable.
