Why do I have to license with you?

The 24 Hour Plays holds the copyright to our name and our proprietary producing process (say that five times fast!).

Plus, you’ll receive support from our NYC office, your own page on our website, and the official logo to use in your own promotions! Request a license here.

How much does the license cost?

We provide licenses to school and education groups for a subsidized price of $125. For community and professional productions, we charge a fee on a sliding scale based on the number of seats and the price of tickets at your performance. Request a license here.
