Frozen JR. has been exclusively designed for students and teachers to be produced and performed in an educational environment. It is important for those overseeing and administrating Frozen JR. to acknowledge that the show has been created primarily for young performers and theater-makers.

Accordingly, additional guidelines apply to productions of Frozen JR. To the extent any of these guidelines conflict with any terms in the Dramatic Performing Rights License section of this Production Contract, these guidelines override such provisions. Please read the following guidelines carefully to be sure that your production is in compliance.

When publishing to your social media accounts, take a moment to consider that your post may directly or indirectly represent the show, and by extension, The Walt Disney Company. Even a harmless post can be manipulated and redistributed, creating a harmful result that was not the original intent. In general, also be mindful that others may not want their photos posted online. In any event, stay away from sensitive or controversial references that could negatively reflect on your production or The Walt Disney Company.
