🎼 How We Arrived at the Pricing Structure
A transparent explanation for teachers, schools, and districts considering a license for Rockin’ The Secrets of Plymouth Rock.
1. Designed Around Real School Budgets
Most elementary schools operate with limited arts funding — often supplemented by PTO support, small grants, or teachers spending their own resources. That’s why our base license is intentionally priced to be accessible, while still fairly compensating the creative work behind the music and materials.
- Typical K–5 musical licensing sits between $75–$150 for a single performance.
- Our pricing is placed on the lower end to reduce financial barriers.
- We avoid “per student” fees that can make musicals unaffordable.
2. Why We Offer Multiple License Levels
Schools use the musical in very different ways. Our tiered structure lets you pay for only the usage you need:
- Single-Performance License — for one show or in-class performance.
- Multi-Performance License — for a daytime show and an evening family show.
- District-Wide License — affordable access for multiple schools.
This makes our licensing equitable and adaptable for districts of all sizes.
3. What Your License Supports
Behind this musical is a huge amount of creative work, all of which your license helps sustain:
- 12 professionally produced original songs
- History-aligned educational content for teachers & students
- Ongoing updates and new materials added over time
- Support for a working artist continuing to create meaningful educational works
4. Why Some Materials Are Optional Add-Ons
Every school is different — some have full music programs, others rely on classroom teachers who need additional support.
To keep the base price affordable, we made certain items optional:
- Karaoke & rehearsal tracks
- Student script & lyrics booklets
- Activity booklets & supplemental materials
You only pay for the resources your program will actually use.
5. Bundles Create Built-In Savings
Schools who want “everything included” can choose bundles that cost less than purchasing resources individually. These bundles are often the best value and make internal approvals easier.
6. No Hidden Fees. Ever.
Our pricing model avoids the kinds of charges that often frustrate school programs:
- No subscriptions
- No auto-renewals
- No per-student fees
- No surprise checkout add-ons
One license. Clear terms. No surprises.
7. A Fair Balance for Schools and Artists
Our pricing is designed to honor both sides: the tight budgets schools manage and the meaningful labor that goes into creating high-quality arts content for students.
Still Deciding?
If you’re weighing your options, remember: this musical gives your students a chance to sing, act, collaborate, learn history, and create a memory they’ll carry for years.
We’re always happy to help you choose the most cost-effective option for your school.
