Most Broadway Junior ShowKits include 30 student actor scripts. For many schools, that is enough for the main cast. But if your cast is larger than 30 students, or if you want extra scripts for understudies, assistants, or directors, you may need to order additional actor script packs.
Teton Music helps schools and music educators order Broadway Junior materials with confidence, including ShowKits, extra actor scripts, rehearsal resources, and teacher-friendly support.
Quick Answer: A standard Broadway Junior ShowKit usually includes 30 actor scripts. Extra actor scripts are typically sold separately in 10-packs.
Why 30 Scripts May Not Be Enough
Broadway Junior musicals are popular with elementary, middle school, and junior high programs because they are designed for young performers. That often means teachers want to include as many students as possible.
If your production has more than 30 students, you will likely need additional actor scripts so every student has their own copy for rehearsal.
When Should You Order Extra Actor Scripts?
Schools commonly order extra actor scripts when:
- The cast has more than 30 students
- There are understudies or double casts
- Student directors or stage managers need copies
- Teachers want backup scripts for rehearsal
- Scripts from previous productions were lost or damaged
How Extra Broadway Junior Actor Scripts Are Sold
At Teton Music, Broadway Junior actor scripts are listed as 10-packs. That makes it easier for schools to add the right number of scripts without ordering one at a time.
For example, if your cast has 38 students, the 30 scripts in the ShowKit may not be enough. One additional 10-pack would give you 40 total student scripts.
Important: Extra actor scripts are intended for schools that have already purchased or are purchasing the required ShowKit/license materials. Always follow the licensing rules for the specific Broadway Junior title you are performing.
Simple Script Planning Chart
| Cast Size | Recommended Script Order |
|---|---|
| Up to 30 students | One Broadway Junior ShowKit may be enough |
| 31–40 students | ShowKit + one 10-pack of actor scripts |
| 41–50 students | ShowKit + two 10-packs of actor scripts |
| 51–60 students | ShowKit + three 10-packs of actor scripts |
Teacher Tip: Order Before Rehearsals Begin
If your cast list is close to or above 30 students, it is usually better to order extra scripts early. Waiting until rehearsals begin can slow down your production process, especially if students are sharing scripts or missing rehearsal materials.
Teton Music works with schools nationwide and understands how important timing is for music teachers, drama teachers, and school office staff ordering with purchase orders.
