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 we sing a song from this show on social media?
As you know, numerous community theaters have had to cancel shows during the current pandemic. We've also seen people spreading hope and joy through video postings of songs. My group was to perform a licensed production of Mamma Mia to support a local Lions Club. It's normally not allowed to perform any part of the work outside of actual scheduled shows per the license. Is there any way for any of us to share a personal favorite in song in social media to lift the hearts of those won't get to see the show this year?
Thank you.

Corona Virus
Our High School has a possible Covid 19 exposure. Performances are scheduled the weekend of March 20. There is a possibility that the show may be cancelled unless we can perform without a live audience. Does MTI have anything in place regarding live streaming performances in the case of this type of emergency?
