Bad Wolf Copyright and Permissions

Our conscientious customers frequently get in touch to ask us about licensing and permissions, so we thought it would be handy to post our latest and greatest copyright information. This (or something like it) can be found right after the title page in every Bad Wolf play, but alas the paper does not automatically update when we make changes!

A Word About Copyright and Copying

We’ve spent a tremendous amount of time writing this musical, so we hope that you will do the honest thing and avoid illegal copying. Please encourage your colleagues to purchase their very own copies rather than steal from friendly writers such as us!

• The purchaser is given lifetime performance rights for this play. No royalty is due as long as the materials are used for educational/non-commercial purposes and ticket prices do not exceed $5 each. Using any portion of these materials for paid workshops, camps, assemblies, commercial performances, etc. automatically incurs a tiny royalty on revenues. See badwolfpress.com/royalties to view rates and pay.
• The purchaser is given permission to reproduce ONE copy of this script for each student/actor.
• The purchaser is given permission to reproduce ONE or TWO songs for each student/actor to help them learn solos or small group parts.
• The purchaser is given permission to edit, add to, or omit any portion of the content of this script as needed.
• Unless a site license has been purchased from Bad Wolf Press, the reproduction of any part of the script or audio recording for more than one teacher/director in a school or theater program is strictly prohibited. Each teacher/director involved with the play MUST have a legal copy of the script and audio recording (either individual or site license).
• NO PART of script or audio files MAY BE POSTED ONLINE unless the site is password-protected, and then only to distribute materials to actors.
• Video recording is permitted. Copies may be sold to families or for school/org fundraising only. Shared/posted recordings must include “by Bad Wolf Press” and link to badwolfpress.com.

And if you do share a video-recording, particularly on YouTube, send us the link! On our YouTube channel we maintain a video playlist for each of our shows. These can be very useful for teachers who want to get ideas for staging and costumes.
