Join DG Director of Business Affairs, Jessica Lit, Esq. and Staff Attorney, Leesa Fenderson, Esq., for a walk-through of the newly revised DG Model Underlying Rights Agreement!

This agreement is for dramatists who are looking to adapt a work protected by copyright into a musical or play. It grants the dramatist the right to create the adaptation, present a staged reading, and an option to acquire the right to present a fully staged production. This newly revised version adds clarity to that process. 

In this session, we’ll walk you through the contract provision by provision to help you understand what each means and why the clause has been included, give you tips for negotiating with underlying rights holders, and provide insight into the new sections addressing the use of A.I.
 

We look forward to having you join us on WEDNESDAY September 16th at 4PM ET. Sign up to RSVP your spot to the right of this page.
