Ways to Find Out About Productions Nationwide?

Hey you guys. I'm curious; Do you guys know of the best way to find out about where productions are being licensed for community theaters, state theaters, etc?

I'm curious particularly about theaters across the company that may be putting on productions of recently successful plays (i.e. Clybourne Park, Venus in Fur, Detroit, Other Desert Cities, etc.)

Would just searching each particular show be the best bet or maybe someone around here knows of a website that collects this information. I'm in the Southeast United States (Charlotte, Atlanta and Raleigh being the closest big venues) so if you know of productions within this area let me know too.

Thanks in advance.

The show's licensing website (ie. MTI) will have this information.

I don't think they all publish that info, however.

This website has some of that information for bigger theatres. For example:

https://atlanta.broadwayworld.com/
https://raleigh.broadwayworld.com/


Have you checked there?

MTI has lists of all theaters performing their shows.

Samuel French and R&H websites have just recently added a search option for upcoming performances. Tams-Witmark is the last major licensing company not to identify upcoming licensees. Hopefully, that will change soon.

Checking the licensing the easiest way, but you're not going to find many plays on the ones listed, since most of them are for musicals only. Try Samuel French, or Dramatists Play Service. They hold the rights for the majority of plays not in the public domain.
