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.

Does restricted mean I cannot have the rights?

If our request for rights (Annie) is listed as restricted, does that mean we cannot have the rights, or we just have to wait longer? Can we change the date of our performances to a better time?

Hi- A group I work with is considering doing a production of the Fantasticks in 2017 or 2018 in Kensington Maryland (I would be the music director). I am curious to learn more about the alternate orchestrations listed on your website. How much additional would they cost above the usual rental fee??? Also, is there any recording of these orchestrations to hear what they would sound like? Thank you. Stuart Y. Weich
