When you purchase the right to perform a play from the authorized distributor you receive, under the doctrine of “fair use”, the right to as many copies of the script as you need to perform the play.
The distributer will send you some copies of the script. Often those copies are fine for the actors, singers, dancers, and musicians. They make few marginal notes, and they will erase them before returning the documents to the distributer. However, the director, choreographer, lighting designer and sound designer need to make many notes and require large margins. The needs of these users are usually met by photocopying the script, but sometimes the scripts are difficult to photocopy because of the way they are bound. These files are a response to that problem. You can print a copy of these scripts for everyone who needs to make extensive notes.
The words and music of each of these plays is copyrighted. Eventually, the copyright will expire, and the plays will be in the public domain. When that happens there will be no restrictions on the use of these scripts. Until then, please respect the copyright by destroying any copies you print after your production is complete.
