Alex was the agent for a number of professional dancers. As agent for the dancers, he would seek out work in local musical stage, television and movie productions. For his efforts, Alex received a percentage of the earnings that the dancers received for their performances. During a particularly slow season, a local theatre owner approached Alex, and suggested that they organize a special 'theatre night' to promote local talent in the municipality. Alex and the theatre owner agreed that admission would be charged to the public, but the performers would donate their services, since it would be a mixed amateur/professional event to promote local theatre and local talent. Alex and the theatre owner would share the proceeds from the ticket sales as payment for their efforts in the promotion of the event. Alex arranged for his clients to perform at the event, but did not tell them that he would be sharing in the ticket sales. Alex and the theatre owner worked very hard to promote the special theatre night, and it was a success. Alex and the theatre owner shared ticket sales of $20,000. Some time later, one of Alex's dancers discovered that Alex had shared in the proceeds from the special theatre night. Advise the dancers.
