What Are MTI Show Templates?
MTI Show Templates in CUR8 are pre-built templates designed specifically for shows licensed through Music Theatre International (MTI). With just one click, they bring in all the essential information you need to launch your production smoothly.
When you add an MTI Show Template, the following items are automatically included:
Roles and Groups: Every character, ensemble, and production group.
Scenes and Musical Numbers: A complete breakdown of acts, scenes, and songs.
Character Connections: CUR8 maps which characters appear in each act and scene, so you always know who is on stage and when.
Licensing Information: The required MTI credits and licensing details that must appear in your program.
This feature saves hours of setup time and ensures compliance with MTI’s requirements.

How It Works - Once the Template is Saved
-
Automatic Population
With a single click, CUR8 instantly imports all the roles, acts, scenes, musical numbers, and MTI-required licensing text into your project.
Each scene and musical number is connected to the characters who perform in it, so you have a clear roadmap of the entire production.
-
Customize as Needed
Once imported, you can still edit roles, add student assignments, and adjust the order of scenes or numbers to fit your rehearsal process.
You can edit your Project Description as needed.
-
Digital Program Integration
The MTI licensing information automatically flows into your Digital Program, ensuring your program complies with MTI requirements without extra work.
Why Use MTI Templates?
Time-Saving: Skip the manual entry of dozens (or hundreds) of characters, scenes, and songs.
Accuracy: Templates are pre-verified with MTI to match your licensed materials.
Connections Built-In: CUR8 shows which roles appear in each act and scene, giving you clarity for scheduling and rehearsals.
Compliance: Guarantees that the required MTI licensing details appear correctly in your program.
-
Streamlined Setup: Get your production organized in minutes instead of hours.
Example
Say you’re producing Into the Woods. By selecting the MTI Show Template, CUR8 will:
Import all characters (from the Witch to Little Red Riding Hood).
Break down Act I and Act II into scenes and songs.
Show you which characters appear in each scene and number, making rehearsal planning simple.
Automatically include the official MTI licensing language in your program.
Within moments, your production dashboard is fully populated and ready for casting, scheduling, and communication.
