How to Obtain Performance Rights All the Durang plays mentioned on this website are under copyright, and thus you must obtain the performance rights and pay a royalty if you wish to present the plays in any public arena, whether professional or amateur. (Note for students: The royalties for amateur rights are usually not that expensive and are rated per performance. Consideration is given to how many performances you wish to give, how much you’re charging for tickets, how large an audience you may have, etc.) For most stock, amateur and professional performance rights to published plays, you can contact one of two play licensing firms that handle Durang’s plays. Samuel French, Inc. handles two of Durang’s plays: A History Of The American Film and Beyond Therapy. For information on the rights to those two plays, contact: Samuel
