Where these requirements arise after a contract has been signed and the Actor involved gives their consent, the detailed requirements, which shall include a description of the nature of nudity, shall be stipulated in a rider to the contract to be signed by both the Actor and the Theatre and immediately filed with Equity. The Actor is not obliged to give such consent.
