The Stage Musical
Castle Gillian: An Irish Tale is both a live stage musical and a multi-award winning 360˚ immersive film experience.
The film and stage musical are identical, although the stage production version has minor differences to the film realization due to the differences between cinematic stoytelling and theatrical storytelling.
Notably, the scenic elements of the film are capable of being incorporated into a live-stage production, if desired (see below for more information *)
Currently, the producers, are licensing performance rights to amateur and community theatres in:
• Member companies of the American Association of Community Theatres (AACT)
• Member groups of the UK The National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA)
• Member groups of the Amateur Drama Council of Ireland (ADCI)

WHAT DOES IT COST TO LICENSE THE SHOW FOR YOUR GROUP?
The license fee is calculated at the greater of:
- 7% of Gross Box Office (inc. applicable taxes at point-of-sale) + $193.00 licensing administration fee or,
- $15 per song x 25 songs = $375.00 per performance
As an example: if 150 tickets were sold at $22.00 (or approx. £16.00) in one performance (inc. any local tax at point-of-sale) the box office gross would be $3,300.00 (£2,400.00). Calculating 7% of the gross would be $231.00 (£193.00). Add to this the setup fee of $193.00 (£168), the total licensing fee comes to $424.00 (£361) – or the equivalent of 20 seats. In this example then, the license fee, per performance would be $424.00 being the greater of $375.00.
