Or less than nothing. It was common for a producer to declare bankruptcy 
while the play was doing East Armpit, Iowa, and just walk away, leaving 
the actors screwed out of a week's pay and stuck with the fare back 
home. One of the rules of an Equity contract is that the producer has to 
keep enough money in an escrow account to absolutely, positively 
guarantee that the cast will receive everything they're owed.
