Does Anyone know about This???
Mon, 15 June 1998, 05:36 pmOn reading the licence agreement for a Samuel French play (ie Dominie) our Treasurer - who is a cautious individual - actually read the whole thing and came across the following:-"It is a requirement that all advertising material, promotions etc carry the following information: "This is an amateur production" or words to that effect. This includes the programme. They also require a copy of the programme 'for their records'YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!The Old Mill Theatre people are obviously on the ball as they have the requisite wording on the posters for 'Don't Dress for Dinner' .Did anyone else know about this ? See next month's LinkNorma Davis (Secretary ITA)
And what about this:
Tue, 16 June 1998, 11:41 amDo clubs realise that it is sometimes cheaper (and easier) to obtain professional rights for a play?Yes, cheaper!Many agencies charge a fixed fee for amateur performance but will readily countenance a percentage (usually %10) of gross box office receipts for a "professional production".Do the sums and see if it's not time you decided to turn professional.CheersGrant
