To help avoid copyright infringement when adapting famous movies into stage plays, one can start by researching whether the materials used are covered by copyright. Additionally, it is important to consider obtaining licensing agreements from the rights holders to be able to use music and dialogues from the film. Furthermore, crediting the original works and authors may be necessary before any adaptation or reuse of the material. 

In terms of protecting themselves from legal claims later on, theatre companies should also ensure that all creative decisions like characterization and structure align with their intention as an original adaptation; doing this will increase their own chances of avoidance since such differences between production will fall under “fair use”. It is additionally recommended that theatre companies document all process throughout creation as evidence against possible infringers.

1. Respect copyright ownership and acknowledge the creators and artists’ work in your promotion and production.
2. Obtain licenses or written permission from the rights holders before adapting their works into a stage play. 
3. Be careful when quoting or parodying copyrighted material as it could lead to copyright liability if done without permission. 
4. Modify the adaptation frequently enough that it stands on its own creative merits and is not just a straight reproduction of the source material
