Laura,
Hi! I see that you have gotten a lot of great responses. I also want to recommend Musicals For Change.
Musicals For Change
There are shows written for schools, churches, and community groups, and are written to explore current issues students face. 10% of the profits for each show go to a Non-Profit partner. I have worked with this organization and they have my highest recommendation!
Good luck choosing a show!

Hello, all! I am looking for recommendations for short musicals for fourth grade. This year we did our first one, Jungle Book Kids, with that age group and everyone loved it. In fact, we would like to do it again but cannot afford it. We are happy to pay royalties, but the larger cost of $500+ for scripts and director materials is beyond the budget, and seems a bit wasteful since we already have those items.
Do you have any recommendations for places to find fun musicals for fourth grade? The 30-minute time frame worked well, and material that is familiar helps. Thank you!
