Breakfast Club Rights - Anyone know the proper channels to apply?

  • 1.  Breakfast Club Rights - Anyone know the proper channels to apply?

    Posted an hour ago

    Hello everyone! 

    I direct a High School Drama Program, and for this upcoming Fall, I would love to do a Stage Production of The Breakfast Club. I've found nothing in the means of rights applications though! From my research, I've found that Universal Studios / John Hughes owns the rights to BC, but nowhere can I find a place to apply for rights to use the script. I have seen this script done on stages before over the years, including my own high school (after I graduated) - have people just done this illegally for years? Is there no Dramatic-altered version someone has published for their own use with their own royalties? Any insight to this would be welcome. It is one of my favorite works, and from what I can tell John Hughes initially wrote it as a play instead of a movie - yet still no stage rights. 

    Please any advice or links to altered versions would be so appreciated! 

    Thank you,
    Kristina Lawson
