Music Theatre International has been a proud partner of The President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH) Turnaround Arts initiative since 2013.
The program has been enormously successful, reaching over 22,000 of the country’s highest-needs students in 49 schools in 14 states and the District of Columbia.
For the past three years, MTI president Drew Cohen, along with our colleagues from iTheatrics have been attending the annual Summer Leadership Retreat which is designed to help principals and teachers gain strategies such as managing classroom behavior through drama and integrating visual art into reading. Nationally recognized teaching artists Marty Johnson and Cindy Ripley of iTheatrics are experts in their field, and through the foundation created by MTI's Broadway Junior musicals, Marty and Cindy have lead thousands of educators in their "Putting on a Musical" workshops.
