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

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.

Good day,
Our middle/high school program is considering doing Guys and Dolls this coming year but we'd like to make some script changes to better fit our equity statement and remove some of the sexist themes that are unneeded to enjoy the beautiful story. What is the process for submitting script adjustments and how ameanable is MTI to such changes?
Best,
Kianna

Answer this QuestionRelated shows or resources: Freaky Friday
Can we still use the full version if we're looking to combine some things from the one-act?
We are looking into doing this show with our high school, but we are concerned about "Busted" and "Go" as being appropriate. If we wanted to look into cutting those songs/adjusting them to be more appropriate, could we still use the full version? Is there someone specific we would need to reach out to?
