The TYA Agreement covers productions of plays expressly written, created or adapted to be performed for children. There are two forms of contract: the weekly contract and the per-performance contract. Performances are generally done during normal school hours and are limited to 90 minutes in length. In addition to performances, the agreement allows associated "Artist Activity," such as classes with the students. Local and overnight touring are permitted, but expenses are required when actors are required to sleep away from their place of residence.
