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 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.

Purchasing individual scripts!
Hey! I am currently in a production of Freaky Friday, and I have been told that at the end of the run, we have to return our scripts. In the past, however, we've not had to return scripts for certain shows. Is there a way I can purchase an individual script so I can keep it after the performance?

Is there any idea when Waitress might be released. I am from a very tiny school in the middle of Kansas that is doing live theatre - with a LOT of Covid percautions- and am needing to find a show that fits our needs and it is PERFECT.

Echoing Revival Casting
I know this verion of materials echos the Original Broadway Cast more, but when we license the show are we allowed to echo the casting choices of the revival as long as we don't alter the music and dialogue given to us (outside of the approved dialogue considerations based on casting.)
