Do I need to choose which title I am licensing in advance?
Because of the flat rate set-up with a year to produce, are we able to apply to license 3-5 titles, but choose which ones we produce at a later date? I'd like to consider this for future classes and camps, but the students would need to have a voice in the decision.

Pairing with other scenes
If we were to select some 10 minute musicals are we allowed to pair them with other scenes during the performance? For example if we did an evening of theatre and select 4 musicals and alternated them with small scenes, either student written or from another publishing compancy. Or are these musical only allowed to be performed by themselves.
