“All the World's a
Stage” - Basics of Theatre Law for Hollywood lawyers
Gordon P. Firemark, Law Offices of Gordon P. Firemark |
| |
|
|
The Theater is among
the first-developed of America’s entertainment industry businesses,
and a significant body of law exists surrounding this business, yet
the legal, regulatory and collectively bargained frameworks within
which theater producers, playwrights, and other artists operate are
often overlooked in entertainment law coursework and among Hollywood
lawyers. Theater law encompasses a number of disciplines within the
law, and in many cases, involves issues peculiar to the live
performance of scripted material, but incorporating the work-product
of dozens or hundreds of other artists and craftspersons. This
program will familiarize the entertainment law practitioner with the
issues, customs and practices influencing the modern American
theater industry. |
