Royalties

Ted & Company scriptbooks are published using a similar model to professional script services such as Samuel French. Producing companies purchase the same number of scripts as there are characters in the play, and then remit royalties for each public performance of the material.

Royalties are due regardless of type of use (profit or non-profit). Special permission must be acquired for profit ventures such as touring stock, dinner theater, etc. No special permission is required if a non-profit such as a church is performing the show as a fund-raiser.

Royalties for Fish-Eyes, Creation Chronicles and DoveTale are:

  • $25/performance under one hour
  • $50/performance over one hour
    *(if performing the same material for multiple church services on the same day, only one royalty is due.)

For Fish-Eyes and Creation Chronicles scripts:

  • $150/unlimited, not-for-profit use license for one year (12 months from time of first use).  One option for this kind of use would be to perform the play serially (i.e. doing one scene each week for a series).

Payment of Royalties
You can pay royalties along with your script purchase, or if you prefer you may wait and charge the royalties by phone or even pay by mail.  Payment should be made at least one week prior to performance. Simply call toll-free: 866-276-2345 or send a check payable to Ted & Lee TheaterWorks, PO Box 33, Harrisonburg, VA 22803.
