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.

Can Little Mermaid Jr be done with live music?
Before the pandemic our school was in production with Little Mermaid Jr. We are looking to do the show in the Fall and are wondering if we might be able to produce it with live music instead of tracks. Is that a possbility? If so, how could we get the score and instrumental parts. Thank you! Dr. Paul Reed

Streaming on Third Party Platform
My organization is in the process of securing rights through MTI to produce Godspell. We intend to purchase rights for streaming as well, but it appears that MTI requires the use of ShowTix4U for all streaming performances. We already have a ticketing and marketing platform. Can we use a third party to stream the performances instead of ShowTix4U? If not, are there plans to make third parties an option in the future?
