Broadway Junior Project
Music Theatre International’s Broadway Junior® Project provides schools that lack arts programming with the FREE training and materials necessary to present a Broadway Junior® musical production in their school. The goals of the Project are to:
- Assist schools that currently have no full time arts specialist to create an infusion of the arts and an arts culture within the school
- Build a strong community through the arts that includes the school, parents and members of the community at large
- Engage as many students as possible in all aspects and areas of the arts
- Encourage the connection of arts programming to curriculum including assessment
Schools interested in being part of Music Theatre International’s Broadway Junior Project must fill out an application to be one of three winning schools selected for 2016/2017.
The three winning schools will receive:
- A license to perform a Broadway Junior musical of their choice
- A ShowKit® of materials that supplies teachers with all the resources they will need to direct, choreograph and teach music like a true professional
- Professional development workshops for the schools’ teachers
About Broadway Junior Musicals
Broadway Junior musicals are 60-minute adaptations of classic and contemporary shows perfect for middle-school aged performers.
Browse the collection of musicals.
About the Professional Development Workshops
Teams of teachers from each of the selected schools will participate in Professional Development workshops in a variety of areas lead by Master Teachers from educational theatre experts, iTheatrics.
These workshops will provide training in all areas of musical theatre production as well as curriculum connections and community involvement. Throughout the entire process of rehearsal and performance a local professional Production Advisor selected by MTI will offer guidance in these same areas while continuing to empower the teaching teams to run the program by themselves.

Assistance with Licensing Registration
Dear MTI,
My name is Kateryna Afonina, and I am a representative of Sound+, a Limited Liability Company based in Kyiv, Ukraine.
We are very eager to request a license for the musical “Mamma Mia!”. However, we are experiencing difficulties with the registration process because Ukraine does not appear in the country list. We kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue at your earliest convenience.
Wishing you continued success and a wonderful day.
Sincerely,
Kateryna Afonina

Hi! I am a teacher in NJ and we are planning on putting on our first musical. I am really interested in the Disney's Dare to Dream Jr, since I believe it will be a good way to ease into a musical. I know that it says January 2025, but do you think it could possibly be made available sooner? Please let me know. Thank you so much!
