MTI Show Support: Ages for Jr shows

Hi Holly! Kudos on beginning a new community theater group, and your plans for 2 shows incorporating the age span you have, I would recommend to anyone.  Broadway JR versions have a duration of 60-75 minutes and are designed for kids through grade 9.  Many who do camp and community theater obtain a different license so that you can extend the age limit and best use the range of kids to your capability. Definitely call your MTI rep and chat about this for your specific situation as it sounds like just what you need to showcase the kids that you want to begin this venture with.  Great vision, let your rep help you make it happen asap. Happy to help brainstorm shows, performance lengths etc.  You definitely want to make it cost effective, as simple as possible to execute and a GREAT experience for kids and adults.

The MTI Show Collection: Musical recommendation - elementary

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for taking the time to write such as thoughtful response.  I also enjoyed your video clips from "Honk! JR" and "Dear Edwina JR."  I can enjoy a challenge, such as being creative with limited materials, and this year, I was fortunate to have teachers and students help with the set design.  I think that the jungle setting lended itself naturally to a variety of fun ideas for the set (e.g., rope hanging vines, tissue paper exotic flowers, etc.).  

In my previous school, I co-directed Disney's "Aladdin JR" and "Beauty and the Beast JR."  However, I had the help of two other teachers, both experienced directors and choreographers, as well as a budget from the school and very active parent volunteers.  

As for the age and maturity level of my student actors, if anything, I was considering inviting lower grades to join.  (This year, I held auditions only for grades 3-5).  It's kind of a puzzle for me, because I also don't want to lose the soon-to-be 6th graders, but there is already a drama program in place for middle school.

I'll have a think about all of this, but you have helped give me other ideas to consider.

Thank you again, --Matthew
