PERFORMANCE RIGHTS & PRODUCTION LICENSE

(Last Updated: 2026-01-21)

This Performance Rights & Production License (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the date of your purchase receipt or invoice issued through the TLCScripts.com website (“Effective Date”).

This Agreement is between:

• Theatre: the producing organization identified on your purchase receipt or invoice, and
• Licensor: J&G Unlimited, LLC, doing business as TLC Scripts (“TLC Scripts”).

By completing your purchase and agreeing to these terms, the Theatre confirms its acceptance of this Agreement.

1. Grant of Rights

TLC Scripts is the sole licensing authority for the copyrighted play(s) or musical(s) identified on your purchase receipt (“Work”).

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, TLC Scripts grants the Theatre a non-exclusive, limited license to present the Work solely for the number of performances, dates, and venue specified at the time of purchase.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Licensor.

2. Eligibility of the Theatre

This license is issued based on the Theatre’s representation that it operates as a community or non-professional theatre and does not produce performances under an Actors’ Equity Association agreement.

If this status changes, the Theatre must notify TLC Scripts prior to production so that appropriate licensing arrangements can be discussed.

3. Royalties & Performance Details

The Theatre agrees to present the Work only as described on its purchase receipt, including venue, performance dates, and run length.

Royalties are calculated as a non-refundable guaranteed advance, based on venue size, number of performances, average ticket price, and work type (play, musical, or children’s work), as detailed on the Theatre’s invoice.

If additional performances are added or ticket pricing changes, the Theatre agrees to notify TLC Scripts and remit any additional royalties due.

4. Materials Package

The Theatre will receive the Materials Package associated with the Work, as described on the product page at the time of purchase.

Materials are provided for the Theatre’s licensed production and do not need to be returned. Shipping costs, if applicable, are the responsibility of the Theatre.

5. Changes, Alterations & Cuts

The Work may not be altered, cut, added to, or otherwise modified without prior written consent from the Author or Licensor.

We understand that production realities vary. If you have questions or special circumstances, we encourage you to reach out before making changes. We’re often happy to talk it through.

Any approved changes become the sole property of the Author.

6. Copyright Responsibility

The Theatre is responsible for securing permissions and paying fees for any third-party copyrighted material it introduces into the production.

The Theatre agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Author and Licensor from claims arising from unauthorized use of such materials.

7. Billing & Program Credit

The Author must receive prominent billing credit in all programs, advertising, and publicity under the Theatre’s control, in type no less than 30% of the title, substantially as follows:

[TITLE OF WORK]
Written by Judith Sapperstein and Gary Murway
Represented and Licensed by J&G Unlimited, LLC (TLC Scripts)

Errors should be corrected promptly upon notice.

8. Recordings & Photography

Recording or filming of the Work is not permitted without prior written consent, except as outlined below:

• Archival recordings for internal reference or grant documentation are permitted.
  A copy must be provided to the Licensor upon request.
• Promotional excerpts not exceeding 300 seconds may be recorded for non-commercial publicity purposes, provided no compensation is received and no third-party permissions are required.

Audience recording is prohibited, and the Theatre agrees to notify patrons of this restriction.

9. Author Attendance

The Author or an authorized representative may attend rehearsals and performances at no charge and is entitled to two complimentary tickets per performance.

10. Promotional Materials

The Theatre agrees to provide TLC Scripts with:

• one copy of programs
• production photographs
• press materials and reviews

These may be used for archival or promotional purposes.

11. Arbitration & Governing Law

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties.

Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
