Need to identify and target outreach to identify a world premiere opportunity for the piece you have been developing? Looking for LORT regional partners following a New York production? Working towards global theatrical domination? We got you.

With a bespoke model that tailors our efforts to your specific needs, TKG meets your project where you are. By leveraging momentum prior to, during, and following your commercial run, we ensure that any property on our roster is given an equal opportunity at a long-term subsidiary life. 

The value of your piece goes only as far as you’re able to take it. With TKG’s development support, we can offer you the tools you need to get your play off the ground. We have produced and managed staged readings, developmental workshops, world premieres (individual and rolling), and everything in between.

At our most essential level, TKG functions in a similar way to all other licensing companies when interfacing with organizations seeking to produce from our roster of clients. We offer full service support from pre-production through strike: digital copies of all performance materials available immediately for your cast and crew, supplemental dramaturgical materials, set and costume sourcing or rental, and networking opportunities to partner with other producing theatres in your region and across the nation.

The Kaufer Group partners seamlessly with agents and managers to elevate your clients’ work while you guide their career. We provide tailored support in contract negotiation, brand strategy, project packaging, and relationship development, ensuring maximum reach for our tailored roster. We offer transparent communication, market-savvy guidance, and efficient deal execution to secure the right partnerships, productions, and touring opportunities. Whether coordinating submissions, developing long-term career plans, or facilitating introductions to producers, artistic directors, and theatrical organizations, we serve as a strategic extension of your representation—aligned with your objectives, respectful of your processes, and focused on delivering results.

Theatrical licensing is the legal process of obtaining permission to perform a play, musical, or other staged work. Rights are typically controlled by the playwright, publisher, or rights holder and are granted through a license that specifies performance dates, venue type, ticketing, royalties, and any staging restrictions. Different licenses cover amateur, educational, and professional productions; some works require auditioning for rights or have blackout periods. Securing the correct license protects against copyright infringement and ensures creators receive compensation for use of their work.
