Hi Kristin! We reached out to MTI and they were able to let us know that licensing won't be available this upcoming school year, if that helps to know for your planning. There also isn't currently a plan to reinstate the "Suffs: The Young Are At The Gates Grant" that was offered through the Educational Theatre Foundation; however any open production grant opportunities will be added to the Foundation's website here and are typically posted in this forum as well.
Thanks!

Subject: Will there be more grant opportunities for SUFFS?
Does anyone at EDTA or MTI have any information about the release of the rights for SUFFS for the 2026-2027 season? We are an all girls high school dying to do this musical and want to know the status of its availability. This is such a great story to tell - anyone out there have any updates?
