WELCOME to Premiére Theatrical Licensing
Amateur, Educational, Professional, Religious, TYA, Senior Theatre
We maintain all of our current titles in all companies, as well as add new titles
Premiére Theatrical Licensing is a theatrical publisher and performance rights licensing agency for plays, musicals, short plays, theater for young people, theater for seniors, and other genres of theatrical entertainment. Thirty years after starting his first publishing company in 1978, Michael Perry sold it in 2008, and began a life of semi-retirement — until his authors came back to him and said “we need your representation.” He established Leicester Bay Theatricals in 2011, and has accepted into his catalog of plays and musicals close to 500 titles in the last 12 years.
In 2021 Leicester Bay Theatricals along with Zion Theatricals, were all bought under one banner: Premiére Theatrical Licensing.
The customers of Premiere Theatrical Licensing are a wonderful cross-section of the theatrical community worldwide: professional theaters, college and university theatres, community theatres, theater for young Audiences, senior theaters, and elementary through high school theater programs. So, if you need to put on a live or streamed theatrical entertainment, PTL is a great place to get your licenses and rehearsal materials.
A special feature of Premiére Theatrical Licensing is the offering of brand new — never been produced in their current form — plays and musicals in out PREMIERE PLAY FILE, for those theaters and schools looking for a World Premiére, or a staged reading or a workshop production to offer their audiences. These shows are not officially published by Premiére, but interested producers can contact the authors directly to arrange for productions rights and rehearsal materials.

COMMENT:
“Reading about your treasure house of scripts is almost like seeing a table full of birthday presents.” — Joanna Kraus
SPECIAL NOTE:
I must announce that as I am getting older and my body is not co-operating very much anymore, and I don’t always have the time or the energy I used to; I am looking for someone to buy in as a partner, eventually taking over Leicester Bay Theatricals/Premiere Theatrical Licensing, with me retained as an advisor as long as that can happen.
email me if you are interested
