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
