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.

streaming rights
Previous answer said that there are streaming rights for this show but I do not see this version of Peter Pan Jr listed. Will there be streaming rights available soon?

Les Miserables
I received a survey from a local, large scale theater in my state asking for patron input for shows their audience would prefer seeing out of a list of musicals. Les Mierables was on that list. My question is, can this be interpreted that the amateur rights to Les Miserables will be released in 2021? I also see that Hale Centre Theatre in Utah is currently producing Les Miserables. Is this also a pre-cursor to the rights being released next year?

MEAN GIRLS JR SUBMISSION
This is a bit of a crazy question but we thought it was worth asking. Is there anywhere we could submit a jr version of a musical (in this case MEAN GIRLS) that someone created a script for? One of our high school theater students created just as a fan and did a really good job. It reads just as an official jr version! We were wondering if there was a way we could submit it to MTI to take a look at. We know you probably wouldnt be interested in it but it was worth asking for the freshman who has such a passion for the arts and that is what broadway jr is about!
