Finding What You Need Ordering Performances & Royalties Live-Streaming, On-Demand Video & Recording Competition & Classroom Use Submissions Miscellaneous

I want to produce a play virtually. What do I do?

Click here to read our YouthPLAYS Live-Streaming Guide for a step-by-step through the process. But in case you want the short version, here are the steps:

  • Pick the play you'd like to produce and go to its page on the website.
  • Order scripts (either enough physical copies for your cast and crew, or a production copy license).
  • Order performance royalties (one for each time you plan to perform the play—so if you want to show the play online at two different times, buy two performance royalties).
  • Order your streaming/video package. Want to live-stream? Order Silver or higher. Need on-demand? Go Gold or higher. (All of the packages are described in detail in the Guide.)
  • Before you checkout, assuming you plan to stream, you will be asked to give us the name of the company/platform that you will be using to stream your performances (for now, place it in the Note to the Publisher). We have five companies (they're in the Guide) that we recommend because their technology and security meet our standards. Having said that, we don't require you to use them as long as you can demonstrate that the platform you will be using is secure (unless you have purchased the Platinum or Diamond packages, which allow you to broadcast on non-secure platforms).
