Who can request a license?
You can! All you need is some basic information about your show and organization.
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!). Just like you would license Oklahoma! or Our Town for a production at your theatre, you license The 24 Hour Plays name and process from us. Plus, you’ll receive support from our NYC office, your own listing in our calendar, 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 $100. 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.
Do you provide any additional services?
We do! We have a variety of Production Services built specifically to help with productions of all sizes. Read about Production Services.
