Competitions

All competitions require a performance-rights license with the exception of those five minutes or under in duration, such as KCACTF’s Irene Ryan Competition, for which no license is required. For competitions with a duration of greater than five minutes a standard fee of $50 per performance applies for full-length plays and $35 per performance for short plays. These fees apply to plays presented in their entirety as well as to the presentation of excerpts or scenes. Applications for competition rights are not subject to restrictions.

Yes. However, you must perform full scenes whenever possible, and you may not reorder material. Scenes and excerpts must be performed in the order in which they appear in the play. No substitutions or deletions are permitted for individual words or lines under any circumstances. If, for example, you should deem any language in the play inappropriate for your audience, please choose another play.
