If you charge for admission, the royalties are paid after the show has taken place. You pay either 10% of your ticket sales or £30, whichever is the greater sum. We will send you a sheet to complete for the fees along with your licence confirmation letter, you will need to keep this safe until the time to pay the fees.

You pay a fixed royalty fee of £30 per performance. You pay this fee at the time you apply for your performance licence.

The scripts, piano/vocal scores, backing tapes and CDs are sold. The band parts or orchestrations are hired. If you hire the band parts, you choose how long you wish to have the material and return this music within three weeks of your final performance. If the music is returned on time and in reasonable condition, you receive a refund of 25% of the hire fee less the postage. Overdue, lost or damaged goods incur a penalty - part or all of your deposit.

There is a minimum number of scripts which you must purchase. The number varies according to the show and is made up of one script for the director and one for each principal. The production notes, lyric sheets and activity sheets are free and are automatically included with your scripts. With musicals, the tapes/CDs and band parts (music for flutes, clarinets, trumpets, trombones, etc) are optional. For plays, the rehearsal material consists of scripts, production notes and activity sheets.

Do we have to send you a copy of the programme?
It's not mandatory but we'd love it if you did. Seeing how creative different groups are with their programmes and publicity gives us a buzz, so we'd appreciate a copy for our archive when you send in the royalties.
