RUDIN PAPERS DEFINE NON-DISPARAGEMENT, NEGATIVE ACT

November 3, 2016 by Philip Boroff

EXCLUSIVE: The first investor non-disparagement clause we found was for the  Scott Rudin-produced revival of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. (Click on the text for easier reading.)

Operating agreements for the Rudin productions of The Humans, Blackbird and Shuffle Along, and the Joey Parnes-produced Bright Star use roughly the same language. (The Humans, for example, prohibits investors from criticizing — in addition to Rudin and the Broadway show — the Roundabout Theatre Co. production, which was the premiere of the Stephen Karam drama.) The clause evolved and lengthened for Hello, Dolly!
