Why a performance license?
Any time a copyrighted piece of theatrical work is presented in front of an audience, a performance license and royalty fees are required, regardless of the size of the audience or whether or not an admission fee is charged.

How long does it take?
It will take 7-14 days to process your application. Some performances may be restricted. Do not assume that you have the rights to the production until your performance license has been confirmed.

Perusal scripts can be ordered for a nominal fee to assist you with your play selection.
