In recognition of World Autism Awareness Day, we are proud to share our film, SPECTRUM OF HOPE.

SPECTRUM OF HOPE is the story of 10 musical theater students, their families, and their teachers as they journey from their special needs school in New York City's Lower East Side (P94M – The Spectrum School) to the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. It is a beautiful moment in all of their lives - a celebration of the power of arts education, musical theatre, and what can be accomplished when students are allowed to flourish on their own terms.

When MTI created Broadway Junior in 1997, we did so with the goal of making musical theatre accessible to as many teachers and students as possible. We knew that children engaged with the arts receive significant educational and social benefits and we wanted every kid in America to experience the joys of making a musical.

Over 100,000 productions later, we’re seeing firsthand how dedicated teachers and teaching artists use our Broadway Junior musicals to give students the skills they need to grow and succeed.

SPECTRUM OF HOPE is just one of the inspiring stories made possible by a community embracing the transformative power of the arts – but it is an important reminder that each and every one of us can help make a difference.
