Why do you ask for a date of birth?
We understand that many of our members deal with ageism, and we work against any kind of discrimination that members of the Guild face in the theatre. By asking for your date of birth, we are merely making sure we have a unique identifier to add to your file. Since some members could have the same name, we ask a variety of other identifying questions to make sure that your file is personalized to you. These identifiers include, but are not limited to: ethnicity, date of birth, home address, etc.
