on. The fee is only $75 per production, and the rights to VM (like the
vast majority of published plays) can be obtained from Dramatists.
Below is a forward directly from dramatists (I have blanked out my
address and phone number).
I don't want this to be under my name since I'm certain that would
lead to the same bout of unnecessary drama that led to my personal
resignation. I used my name simply to fill out the form and show that
it's possible. I also want to say that my resignation holds -- I don't
want to take part in this, and will only sponsor it if you guys all
cheap out! (Kidding. But, basically, there are at least 15 of you, and
if each of you donates $10... which is a cheap lunch for most of us...
the rights are a go.)
I would suggest that Victoria Long or another producer fills out the
form at Dramatists for rights to perform VM.
P.S. I want to say that Dramatists.com is fairly lax about
nonprofessional productions. A friend of mine actually produced a play
(and obtained license from Dramatists) in World of Warcraft. I think
it was VM, too. He's kinda a dork, but I'll poke him for more
details...
