Can I film my production? Can I make an archival recording of a performance?

At Concord Theatricals, we understand each producing organisation we work with is unique and has varied needs based on casting pools, audience, and location. We are committed to helping you make theatre happen in your community, while also honouring the intent of our Authors. We often receive questions such as the following: 

  • Can I film my production? 
  • Can I post short clips of the show on my theatre’s website? 
  • Can I make an archival recording of a performance? 

Written permission must be obtained for all recording requests, regardless of the purpose or reason for the proposed recording. Some titles do offer video permissions in the licence application. 

If you do not see that option for the title you are applying for, and your licence does not include permission to create and/or distribute a video recording, then you must secure separate written permission from Concord Theatricals. Requests for video permission must be submitted in writing. Please email your Licensing Representative with your request and include your licence request number in all correspondence. 

Please be aware that additional fees may apply and that not all titles are available for audio or audio/video recordings.
