Licensing Information
Royalties noted in the JAC Publishing & Promotions Online Library are for live stage productions by amateur groups with maximum seating capacities of 400. Special arrangements must be made by professional groups, by amateur groups with larger seating capacities, for television and radio broadcasting and for any other use. Please note that productions may not be video taped without prior arrangement with JAC Publishing & Promotions.
Royalties compensate authors and owners for the use of their works and are applicable to all performances before an audience, whether or not admission is charged.
Purchase of an individual script is a flat rate, as indicated in the catalog. Purchase of a play package (not the single script, but the full package of performance scripts) is a statement of the buyer's intent to produce the production. The rate given for the package is a flat package rate, in addition to an expected PER PERFORMANCE royalty. Consult catalog for applicable play royalty, individual to each script.
At the point of performance agreement, notification of production dates must be provided to JAC Publishing & Promotions and royalties are due no later than one week prior to production opening.

No changes, interpolations,or deletions in the text, lyrics, music, title or gender of the characters shall be made for the purpose of production without authorization from JAC Publishing & Promotions and the Author (if available). This includes changes or updating the time and place/setting of the play, changing the gender of characters, or cutting a piece for festival participation or competition. All requests to alter the play in any manner must be submitted in writing at least one month in advance of intended production.
