The American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA) is a labor union of artistes and stage Managers in live performances in the variety field, including singers and dancers in theatrical revues and touring shows, theme park performers, skaters, circus performers, comedians and stand-up comics, and cabaret and club artists. The Radio City Rockettes and cast members of Disneyland and Universal Studios, in California, are AGVA members performing under AGVA collective bargaining agreements. Founded in 1939, AGVA members have used their collective power to raise standards across the live performance industry by negotiating for minimum salaries, safe working conditions, paid time off, health and retirement benefits, and other workplace improvements.
