I think we can all agree that it's wrong for local theatres to copy Broadway production design.

While I agree there are some design elements that are necessary for every production(Les Mis' barricade for instance), many of these shows' licensing agreements allow theatres to be creative with their design.

However, that doesn't stop many local theatre companies from stealing previous design work. Even worse, they pass the copied designs as their own, rather than give credit to the original designers.

Last year we reported that Stage Center in Shreveport, LA had been copying other production designs for years and not giving credit to the original designers. They have since corrected this.

The latest example comes from The Upstagers in Del Rio, TX. Their production of She Loves Me looked more than a little familiar. Check out the video below:
