NYMF Bows to Dramatists Guild
Responding to pressure from the Dramatists Guild of America, the New York Musical Theatre Festival has announced that it will not seek subsidiary rights to authors' work presented in this year's festival. NYMF had altered its contract with participants this year to guarantee the festival 2 percent of the applicant and author's gross “on all income received from the play in excess of $20,000 over 10 years.” The Dramatists Guild complained that such rights exceeded what NYMF was entitled to as a nonproducing partner.
