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.

How do we sign up for Fast Track Notification?
There is a link to this but the link doesn't take me to fast track. It takes me to the page where I can "follow" the show. Is this all I need to do to get the message that rights are available?
Thank you!

How can a group already be advertising that they will be doing MAMMA MIA?
A local school has posted a video on facebook announcing that they will be doing MAMMA MIA in March 2019. I realize that the rights will be available and they can apply and potentially do it in that time frame, but it is unfair that they have jumped the gun in making this announcement. I thought the stipulation was that there can be no promotion of doing a show until the rights have actually been secured.

Can we add a make-up show due to weather?
Hi we are performing Seven Brides for Seven Brothers here in Manassas, Virginia for the next two weekends. We are licenced for 5 performances. We are now expecting a freak snow storm that is likely to cancell two of our performances this weekend. Are we allowed to add a matinee next weekend on the 15th? We would still be short one of our shows, but that would allow us to have 4 performances?
If that is fine with you, could you send me an email stating that is the case so that MT Pit will allow us to extend our rental of their orchestrations also.
Thank you so much for your time and attention to this matter!
Sincerely,
Erin Vander Woude, Producer.

How soon can we get the 'Little Shop of Horrors' orchestrations?
We like to have our students start to learn these songs early in the semester in their band course. We'd like for them to start learning it at this time and ws wondering if we could get the materials early for this reason. Is this a possibility?
