Copyright ? concerning photos

[Chuck McCann <cmccann@xxxxxxx>]

Hi List,



A Scenic Design graduate student doing her MFA Thesis has a question about
copyright.  Her thesis project is to design the set for Hair, The Musical.
This will not be a published project.  Her role is to design the set--from
concept, to initial sketches, to drafting various elevations, to building a
scale model, to designing projection, to building the actual set.  Her
question is whether or not she has to get permissions to use images/photos of
the 1950's, 1960's, and early 1970's that she finds on the internet and in
newspapers and books about the Vietnam era.  The musical will be produced by
undergraduate theatre majors, and there will be six performances for which
admission will be charged.  However, there will be nothing for viewers to take
away (except the experience) and she will make no profit from the production.
Any help you all can give will be very much appreciated.



Thanks!
