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 Broadway Junior Musicals
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.

Need help with computer settings for online musical
Since the director's guide was put out, and the online workshops were given, apparently Zoom has changed some audio setting options. Is there an update to the info given in the guide anywhere, or who can I talk to? In the workshops we were told we could reach out for help but I'm not sure who to contact. Thanks.

Is it possible to rent the piano score without renting the rest of the band score and just have the piano playing instead of the entire band? Do you know if streaming will be available in the next few months?

How do we control who sees online show
I am looking to embed the video of an MTI licensed online musical so I can sell tickets and control who sees it. I understand I cannot use any platform I choose, that MTI has one designated platform I can use. I don't see info on that anywhere. Can you help?
