What is a cast quantity of scripts?


A “cast quantity” is defined as the minimum number of actors a particular show can be performed with. The cast size can be found on the description page for each title. Theatres are required to purchase a playbook for each actor in their production. 

If you already have playbooks from a previous production, you are not required to repurchase them. During the quote/licensing process for your new production, you will just need to indicate that you already have the required number of playbooks.

Please note that copying of materials is strictly prohibited unless permission is granted by Dramatic Publishing. For manuscript titles, customers will be issued a permission to copy form and granted permission to make a specific number of copies. For digital scripts, a cast quantity must be purchased in order to be granted permission to distribute a specific number of copies.
