Copyright & Permission to Reproduce

Copyright to all intellectual property contained on this website (including text, images, audio and video) is held by Manhattan Experimental Theater Workshop.

Because MXTW is a teaching program, each year some pieces are more derivative than others of the models embodying the styles our student authors have studied in preparing their scripts. In some scripts, there are even borrowed lines.

Naturally, MXTW's copyright claim does not extend to those elements of these scripts.

That said, you are free to use these in performance ON THREE CONDITIONS:


  • You acknowledge the influences, the workshop authors, and the MXTW copyright

  • You provide a citation to www.mxtw.org

  • You notify us – at mxtw AT mxtw DOT org – of the dates and times of your performances

If at all possible, we would like to attend your performance or to see a recording.
