How long does it take to find out if I will have the rights to perform a show?

Expect a response within 10 business days.

Do we always need a performance license even if we are not charging admission?

Yes. As copyrighted works, every play represented by Creative Licensing LLC requires a performance license agreement each and every time it is presented whether admission is being charged or not or if the show is a remounting of a previous production.

How do I know if my theater or organization is “Non-Professional” or “Professional” for licensing?

In this context, the terms “Professional” and “Non-Professional” refer to the membership of actors and directors to unions or guilds. If your organization employs actors or directors who are members of Actor’s Equity, Stage Directors and Choreographers Guild, or other similar groups, your organization is considered “Professional.” Otherwise, your organization is considered “Non-Professional.”

How do I cancel some or all of the performances on my license?

You must immediately notify us in writing of any intent to cancel performance(s) or the entire production of a play. Please fill out the Licensed Performances Cancellation Request Form.

How do I change the dates of my license?
