About DesignWorks Licensing

DesignWorks Licensing LLC represents the original creative rights of distinguished theatrical artists across choreography, scenic design, costume, lighting, and projection. We serve as stewards of these works, ensuring they are protected, licensed, and respected in productions around the world. From Broadway to community stages, our mission is to extend the life and value of original theatrical contributions beyond their premiere.

Too often, creative designs are used without permission, overlooked in licensing conversations, or lost to time. At DesignWorks, we believe the visual and physical language of a production deserves the same recognition and protection as the script and score. Our licensing platform provides a structured, enforceable system for preserving creative ownership, generating royalties, and supporting attribution, empowering artists to innovate with confidence.

As the $1.4B secondary performance market continues to expand globally, particularly across schools and regional theatres, DesignWorks fills a critical gap in the licensing ecosystem. Our secure, software-driven infrastructure enables the legal distribution of original design materials as commercial products, reducing friction, ensuring compliance, and delivering long-term IP control. Through our growing network of international partnerships, we now offer licensing services across North America, Australasia, and Europe.
