Theatre Licensing
Built for the Modern Stage
Transparent Pricing. Instant Access. No Hidden Fees.
The Math of Fairness
Don’t wait days for a custom quote. We believe in simple, transparent math that fits your theatre’s budget.
-
-
- Plays: 4% of your total gross potential (Seats x Performances x Ticket Price).
- Musicals: 6% of your total gross potential
- Zero $$ Digital Material Fees: When you choose digital delivery, you pay for the license and nothing else. No “Digital Handling” or “Delivery” surcharges.

The “Keep Your Scripts” Policy
We’ve eliminated the stress and cost of script rentals.
-
-
- No Returns Required: If you order physical script packages, they are yours to keep.
- Mark Them Up: Actors are encouraged to highlight, dog-ear, and take notes directly in their scripts to make the production their own.
- No Post-Show Penalties: Never worry about collecting books, eracing pencil marks, or paying for return shipping again!
-
A Partnership, Not a Transaction

Our Guarantee: Your Dates are Secure!
We believe a deal is a deal. Once your production is licensed and your dates are set, we will never “yank” your rights or cancel your performances in favor of a larger production. We protect our community theater partners and respect the work you put into bringing our scripts to your stage
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get my production materials?
Once your payment is processed, our team will email your “Press Play” materials package (including scripts, music, and artwork) directly to you. Most materials are delivered within one or two business days, so you can start rehearsals almost immediately.
Do you offer physical script packages?
To keep our licensing all-inclusive and affordable, we deliver all materials digitally. You receive authorized PDFs that are formatted for easy printing. The best part? There are no scripts to return and no “damaged book” fees—ever.
What if I have a question about the script during rehearsal?
You can reach out to us directly! Whether it’s a question about a line, a stage direction, or a musical cue, we’re here to help. We pride ourselves on providing the kind of personal, human-to-human support that the larger licensing houses simply can’t match.
