Samuel French Inc

Samuel French Inc put their catalog online well before most publishers caught up, giving playwrights and theatres quick access to scripts and licensing. The publisher specializes in stage works, handling sheet music, rights management, and small-run editions. Scripts arrive for everything from Off-Off-Broadway experiments to school productions, accompanied by licensing paperwork. Sheet-music packets often include performance cues tucked inside the score. Their office sits close to Broadway’s pulse, putting theatre teams within a few blocks of rehearsals and previews.

Visit the 250 W 57th St 6th Floor New York, NY 10107 to see catalog binders stacked behind the reception counter. They distribute bound copies to university libraries and small presses alike. Rights requests can be processed the same day when paperwork is complete. Licensing staff log releases by title, writer, and venue so producers know which forms to file weeks ahead. Playwrights drop off revised manuscripts and walk out with a fresh certificate of authenticity.

One phone call handles most needs: (866) 598-8449. Producers phone for multiple-copy orders bound in durable covers. Actors ring for monologue packets under fair-use limits. Students call to verify royalty splits before uploading scenes to YouTube. Licensing inquiries about international co-productions receive routing to the contracts desk. The same line routes you to the permissions team when excerpts exceed the guideline.

Find your way with a directions through Columbus Circle’s constant foot traffic. Seventh Avenue’s honking cabs and the occasional tour bus give the block its downtown-meets-Theatre-District rhythm, while the publisher’s quiet sixth-floor corridor stays mercifully free of both.
