The MTI Show Collection: Beauty and the Beast Jr. Costumes on a budget

I checked these out.  Jason is right, they are really beautiful and it looks like they have packages built for budgets of all kinds plus a fundraising option.  Awesome!

The MTI Show Collection: License cost MTI shows

I run a summer camp and we perform a show at the end, this year is Urinetown.  Costs about $85 per day for licensing and $550 for the rental.  There is also a $400 refundable deposit when you return the materials.

MTI Show Support: Rapunzel Recordgin

I completely agree.  Here's a link to RAPUNZEL on our musical finder.  It lists some other groups currently performing the show.  Perhaps you can email them to see if they know of any resources:

The MTI Show Collection: 13, the Musical. Dealing with fear.

Hi Cynthia - I'm sorry to hear about the response to what I also believe is a sweet, innocent and sassy show.  It can be a challenge finding the right material to please everyone within a given community - especially when it comes to works of art which are by nature, open to interpretation.  I applaud you for seeing the opportunity to bring your community back together as I'm sure the last thing on your mind was creating division.  Adolesence is a tough time period...and for a reason - especially since adolescent issues can still make us grown-ups uncomfortable too.  There are some customers who have issues performing Guys and Dolls in their community because it deals with gambling, so there really is no hard and fast rule about picking a show free of controversy.

I'm sharing your post with the MTISS community so you can hopefully get some words of encouragement and ideas about how to address this within your school and community.  Thanks for posting - hopefully this will stimulate conversation and allow other for future learning opportunities.

-Jason

The MTI Show Collection: Hairspray Set For Sale--STILL AVAILABLE!

Yes, this set it still available.  Costumes and wigs are not included, sorry.

The MTI Show Collection: Bruiser

If you can afford it, hire Wiiliam Berloni.  His company rescues dogs and trains them for performance.  He handles Sandy, Bruiser, and Toto dogs.  Perfectly professional and awesome experience. This will require much less effort on your part.  If you can't afford that, work with a local dog trainer. Establish the blocking and what exactly you need Bruiser to do.  Then work with the trainer to assertain whether the goals are realistic and if so, how they can be achieved. Early in the process, the actors interacting with the dog must be involved in the training. They will be responsible for cues and commands.

Make sure you have an appropriate space for the dog to rest, eat, go to the bathroom, etc. and that your venue allows pets. We produced The Wizard of OZ with a live TOTO.  IT was worth the effort and expense, but it was an effort and expense.  Break a leg!
