On the third episode of BroadwayWorld's new theatre business podcast, "The OHenry Report," Broadway producer and investor Oliver Henry Roth talks to two industry professionals about the licensing process for plays and musicals, and then what happens when a theatre company violates their license.
In the news recently, the Shelton Theater in San Francisco came under attack for dramatically modifying Stephen Adly Guirgis’s play "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot" without receiving proper approval from the author. To understand the process of licensing and the enforcement of an author's copyright, Oliver talked with Bruce Lazarus the executive director of Samuel French and Howard Sherman, the director of the new Arts Integrity Initiative.
Oliver also talked with BroadwayWorld's Matt Tamanini, The OHenry Report's producer, about recent theatrical news, specifically openings, closings, and Broadway real estate.
