What are the laws with this? I've tried to do searches to no avail.
Most of our actors are over the age of 18. One underrage child actor has a permit to work. Even though this is an unpaid gig, it's a decent size production. We do have one 17 year old that we would like to cast but we aren't sure if we are legally able to. What are some of the terms used that I can google to see if my state allows such things.
We definitely aren't trying to break any laws. All our production locations are permitted, we have insurance, we have pretty much everything covered except for this one 17 year old.
Since it's an unpaid gig is it even technically working? Or a job? etc. Are we allowed to let them miss school?
