Om frilansavtalet förändras kan musikaler som Jesus Christ Superstar försvinna från Åbo svenska teaters repertoar.
In short: Finnish theatres have abused a part of the Finnish Actors' Union collective agreement. Therefore the rules about using freelancers in theatrical productions are being reviewed.
Åbo Svenska Teater's manager Dick Holmström claims that if the agreement is changed, ÅST won't be able to do musical productions like it does today. According to him, compromises will have to be made or many actors will soon be out of work.
The Artists' Association at ÅST doesn't agree with Holmström's views.
