Nonprofessional Performance Rights Application
This is an application to produce a full-length play, one-act, musical, or a complete published collection of one-act plays
by one author. (U.S. and Canada only.)
YOU MUST enter your venue's postal code to apply for a license. Special clearance must be obtained for all productions in
New York City and the greater Los Angeles area. Approval in these areas is not guaranteed.
DPS advises you not to hold auditions, begin rehearsals or make any major production plans before you have obtained written permission to proceed.
If you are inquiring about English-language stage performance rights in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa or the United Kingdom, you should contact our
International Agents in those regions.
If your application is immediately approved, you will receive a license within 24 hours by email. If your application requires review, you should
receive a response by email within approximately one to two weeks.
