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.

Using RehearseScore... Tech question

Hello - I've used Rehearse Score for many years and have never had a problem with this. We are currently doing '9 to 5' and there are measures that are optional (Labeled 65A, 65B, 65C, etc.). I am trying to cut them so they never play, as the orchestra will be making the cuts. Within one of them, there is a vamp written in. I am not able to put the cut in, and I suspect that it is because there is a vamp there. I need help cutting it. I tried, and am able to make cuts in other places within the score, just not there. If you want specifics, It's the song 9 to 5, and I'm trying to cut measures 65A - 65D with the vamp being in mms. 65C. Thanks

Is there a conductor's score for Fiddler on the Roof?

We received our package with all of our resources and our orchestra director is wanting to see the conductor's score. There was not one in the list of materials. Is this not available? How do they conduct without it?

Hairspray Jr. casting question

My school is in an area without a lot of ethnic diversity. I'm wondering if there is a possibility to classify a group, not racially, but in some other way to make it work for our community? Please let me know any ideas. Thank you.

Peter Pan Jr. vs. Disney's Peter Pan Jr.

What are the major differences between these two Junior versions? Is the Peter Pan more modern? My school is concerned about the depiction of the Indians in this story. Does the new version eliminate these characters or treat them in a more culturally sensitive way?
