What’s my password to open my download?

This password is sent to you via e-mail and located in your account under downloadable products – click PDF password. This password is different from your Eldridge customer password for ordering.

How to submit a play?

Do you have a printed catalog?

Eldridge’s catalogs are sent to high schools, middle schools, theatres and individual customers twice a year, free of charge. If you wish to receive a copy by mail, just search "catalog" and place an order.

How do I know how long a show will run?

Shows vary in length and times are often included in the description. When not specified, here’s our rule of thumb:

Full - length plays - 1 ½ to 2 hours.

Musicals - 1 ½ to 2 hours.

One - act plays - 20 to 40 minutes.

Youth theatre plays - 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Another rough calculation is about a minute and a half per page. (1.5 min per page)

Can I just purchase just royalties? We already have scripts.

Yes, if you need to add production dates, please e-mail us.

No, if you will need scripts and royalties if you want to revisit a previously produced show and have a new cast and crew. Our scripts are single use and cannot be used from year to year.

Can I order just scripts?

Yes, you can order additional scripts without additional royalties if you have already ordered and need a few more. You may not just order scripts without any royalties on record. Our website will limit this but a quick email or phone call to us will resolve it.

May I modify the play?

If you find you need to make minor alterations in the script to meet your community standards, casting or staging limitations, or to meet contest rules, just contact us.

We would ask that you submit any requests (be as detailed as possible) via e-mail. Some directors do this by sending a scan, uploading a photo, or simply writing an email. We will review your request and get feedback from the playwright if necessary.

Changes are often allowable but must be approved by our editors. For a prompt response, e-mail them directly at editorial@histage.com.

Can we videotape our performance?

You may videotape a production for complimentary keepsakes or archival purposes. If you plan to sell the videos, a reasonable royalty is due. Please contact us at info@hiStage.com for specifics.

Video / Broadcast Rights

If you wish to use any of our materials in radio, television, cable or video broadcasts, please contact us at editorial@hiStage.com for licensing information and reasonable royalty rates.
