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.

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.

Are further costs per month added to the show materials cost dependent on how long you would like the script for?

I am wanting to know whether the Show Materials cost of $895 is a one-off payment for an unlimited amount of time or whether there are additional monthly costs etc, as with the adult version of Mary Poppins. For example, We would not be putting a show on at our school until September next year, but are wanting to get an idea of what the script looks like and the music as we would want to get more than a piano working on it. We would be wanting at least a perusal now and to get everything in properly in February next year.

Also, what are the legalities involved if our Music teacher were to write in a few instrumental aprts for students to play along with the piano score provided. Is this allowed?
