Licence

Surrey Dance Music may at its sole discretion grant a performing licence to organisations wishing to perform "STUD". Such a grant forms a binding contract between Surrey Dance Music and the organisation. Applications must be submitted on the Performance Application Form received with the Perusal Materials. Rehearsals may not start until receipt by the producing organisation of an approved application. Note that producing "STUD" without being in possession of a Licence to Perform will place you in contravention of the Copyright Act and could render you liable to prosecution.

We are sometimes required to restrict availability. We will be happy to advise you of availability in your area. Please check before scheduling a production.

The musical will be presented as it appears in its published form and the authors' intent will be respected in production. No changes, interpolations or deletions in the text, lyrics, music or title shall be made for the purpose of production. This includes updating the time and place setting of the musical.

The details listed on this page are for live stage productions by amateur groups with maximum seating capacities of 500.
