That is not accurate. It depends on what the house is signitory to. For instance, here in LA, the live shows at the El Capitan Theater (owned by Disney) are all AGVA, puppeteers and actors. Just down the street, When Lion King was in town, they were all Equity. I don't think you can have 2 performing Unions in the same show, Just as a TV show will be either SAG or AFTRA, not both.
