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.

December 2018 Perofrmance
I've read in the questions that schools that want to perform Mamma Mia in the Fall of 2018 will be able to secure the right a few months before, could you give me an idea of what that mean? July? August? If I can't secure the rights for our December performance I'll need a back up plan. Can you please tell me WHEN we can apply for Canadian High Schols to do this show???

I am checking on a submitted contract...
I submitted my contract early Jan and haven't heard back. I have emailed and tried calling Roseanne George but have not heard back. Our Jr. play is in April and it is making me nervous.

Old Version
Does this mean the original version with "WHY ME?" for Jafar is no longer available? While I love this new script, I did enjoy Jafar's song. I've done Aladdin Jr. twice -- it's a great choice for Middle Schools!
Thanks!
