My mother is involved in children's theater and wants to do a 10-15 minute skit of an exerpt of the children's book Caddie Woodlawn. She would like to write the script herself but people have warned her in the past of copyright laws. Someone else told her they thought if a work was more than 50 years old, it's public domain.
This would be for a small audience and I told her she should just do it, but she is wary. We tried to look online for a script of past stage productions, but had no luck. Is there somewhere to find a list of protected works or something? Any help at all would be great.
