My search for a holiday play to produce which is family friendly, cause Dramatic Publishing holds on the rights to A CHRISTMAS STORY-nonmusical version so late that it is not easy to include in the season, has led me to look for alternative familiar holiday scripts with low technical requirements, but not another version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL..So I welcome any ideas for holiday scripts.
Then I thought about doing a readers theatre version of HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS and inviting faculty members/administrators/town leaders to come in and read a fun nonpivotal role. Now when I look for script version of the movie, I find some pirated Jim Carrey version. Still looking for a copy of the movie script of HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS.
So here are two other questions, how legal is it to produce readers theatre productions of movie scripts?
And if the rights are available, where do I find copies of well-known movie scripts?
