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

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.

Do you have an estimate of when the show will be released?
Answer this QuestionRelated shows or resources: Rent
How can I use one number from Rent in my show?
Hello,
I am planning to produce a play in Korea. We would like to include the musical number "La Vie Bohème" from the musical Rent in our production. We intend to translate the lyrics into Korean ourselves and perform it live. While we can request copyright permission for the sound recording through the Korea Music Copyright Association, we need the author’s consent for translating the lyrics and performing them ourselves.
Could you please advise us on how to obtain the necessary permissions for this?
Thank you.

Restrictive rights?
Hi! I am looking into getting rights for a college production in Boston. Would this be impacted by any kind of blanket restriction because of the current Broadway revival?
