Amateur Rights Request Form - Playwrights Guild of Canada

If you wish to apply for Non-Professional (amateur/education) Performance Rights of a Canadian play by a PGC member, please use our online form. Please note that the rights for an amateur production of a particular play may not be available. You will be notified about the availability once we receive the online request. If we don’t handle the rights for your requested play, we will let you know and pass your request on to the rights manager, as long as PGC has that information. If we do not have a rights manager on file, we will do our best to assist you with your amateur rights search.

Serious inquiries only! If you are seeking a QUOTE, or are curious about PGC’s amateur rights policies, please contact sarah@playwrightsguild.ca instead of completing this form.

If you are inquiring about professional rights, please email rebecca@playwrightsguild.ca to receive more information.
