Please feel free to apply for streaming rights to any of our plays —whether listed here or not— because we regularly clear applications through the agents on a case by case basis.

Step 1. Apply for Performance and Streaming Rights
APPLYING FOR A STREAMING RIGHTS LICENSE
If you are interested in live-streaming your production, please complete our Nonprofessional Licensing or Professional Licensing forms and be sure to select the streaming option. Be aware that electronic rights such as live-streaming are not available for all DPS shows, as those rights remain with our authors or copyright holders. If your show has not yet been cleared for streaming, we will do our best to get you an answer from our authors and their representatives as soon as possible.
STREAMING LICENSE OPTIONS
A DPS Streaming License using ShowTix4U offers you 3 ways to stream your show with the option to handle your ticketing needs:
- Live-Streaming: Stream a live event in real-time.
- Scheduled Content: Stream pre-recorded content you schedule for viewing at a fixed time or times.
- Video On Demand: Upload a pre-recorded video of your event or previous productions for patrons to purchase and watch on-demand.
For the protection and tracking of content, DPS prefers the use of ShowTix4U for your streaming event, whether live or recorded.
Step 2. Ticket and Create your Event
Enter your DPS Sales Order Number (SO#) on the ShowTix4U website to create an event.
For the ease and convenience of using one platform to present your streamed production, we recommend using www.ShowTix4U.com for both your streaming and your ticketing needs. However, the use of the ShowTix4U ticketing service is NOT required. Please visit ShowTix4U for a full list of features and pricing.
Before you can set up your event on the ShowTix4U website, you must have your DPS SO# and payment must be made in full to Dramatists Play Service. Your SO# will not become active until payment has been received by DPS.
Please note that DPS's decision to partner for Secured Streaming with ShowTix4U.com is not only to protect our products but also protects our Customers from having to pay for subscription services through other platforms, secures Customers from having their data mined for advertising and prevents the sale of your Customer identity. Our partnership ensures expedited licensing approval as well as expedited approval of performance date changes, postponements and/or cancelations.
Production materials such as musical scores, sound design CDs or images DVDs, will be provided, where applicable, in a digital format or shipped to you in advance of your opening date, provided DPS is in receipt of payment for these materials, including any applicable shipping and handling.
