Legal Rights to Music for Concert#1
Posted: 6/13/18 at 5:15pm

Hi I run a children's theatre/musical theatre nonprofit and I would like to put on a recital/concert. I don't understand how to legally use the music I want to use. I looked into ASCAP but that doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for. I want to put on a show with kids singing broadway songs and maybe dancing a little bit. I'm trying to do it all legally but I don't understand it. Also, does anyone know if I can write a play and insert songs within it? Thanks

Not legally. If you post this on the bway board you'll probably get more specific answers.
