Paul, Generally speaking, based on the information you have given in your email, it looks like your use would be within Section 110(4) of the copyright act. (Educational use does not in and of itself constitute fair use; your contemplated use is a public performance of a copyrighted work so you are correct in looking for the copyright exemption that would permit it.) Section 110(4) reads as follows: 4) performance of a nondramatic literary or musical work otherwise than in a transmission to the public, without any purpose of direct or indirect commercial advantage and without payment of any fee or other compensation for the performance to any of its performers, promoters, or organizers, if - (A) there is no direct or indirect admission charge; or (B) the proceeds, after deducting the reasonable costs of producing the performance, are used exclusively for educational, religious, or charitable purposes and not for private financial gain, except where the copyright owner has served notice of objection to the performance under the following conditions; (i) the notice shall be in writing and signed by the copyright owner or such owner's duly authorized agent; and (ii) the notice shall be served on the person responsible for the performance at least seven days before the date of the performance, and shall state the reasons for the objection; and (iii) the notice shall comply, in form, content, and manner of service, with requirements that the Register of Copyrights shall prescribe by regulation; Best, Peggy -- Peggy E.
