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.

High School Musical JR Remote Rights
I teach at a public K-8 building. My students need to record at home so I believe I am only interested in shows that have REMOTE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS. We would like to do High School Musical JR. The site clearly states that Non-Schools can get Remote Performance Rights. Can SCHOOLS get Remote Performance Rights for High School Musical JR? I cannot bear to create a remote performance and then be told I cannot share it with parents.

Art and photography
Good morning!
My organization is interested in producing A Year with Frog and Toad, TYA version. I could not tell from the website, however, what art and photography would be included in the package. Will there be specific art and photos we can use for marketing, or is it only the colorful text graphic on the shows page?
Thank you!

Our regional area has had ZERO community transmissions and have comprehensive Covid Safe Plans in place. Our theatre is open and our company has launched two successful productions in the last 3 months adhering to this plan.

Splitting up roles
For Xanadu, can the roles be split up?
As in, can different characters (like Zeus and Danny) be played by separate actors to accommodate for a larger cast?
Thanks.

Dolly Parton Voiceover
Is it required in the contract that a production uses the voiceover/Dolly Parton projection? Can you do them as audio only? In the Broadway production some of those lines were given to some of the performers and I was wondering if that was allowed.
