As the new school year begins, we know that across the country, many theatres are facing hard choices as school funding cuts and shrinking arts budgets take their toll. We know how painful it can be to scale back on productions or cancel school tours altogether—especially when students can benefit from live theatre now more than ever. That’s why TND Musicals is offering a new low-cost option: Blending historical fact with engaging theatrical storytelling and songs, *Frankly Ben Franklin, A Musical Memoir,* connects Franklin's revolutionary ideas to the curiosity and challenges of today's students. Recommended for Grades 8-12. It's perfect for America's 250th Celebration in 2026! The complete production package gives theatres the tools they need for a high-quality production at a fraction of the usual cost. Applications are open now through October 15, 2025. <https://www.licensingmusicals.com/school-touring> TND@LicenSINGMusicals.com Email deadline is Oct. 15 at 11:59 pm *Did you know?* *HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY DISCOUNT ALL YEAR for **Frankly Ben Franklin* for ALL THEATRES: Just $500 for one RUN of the show (If the run is multiple weekends, no more than 6 days between performances.
