In 2011, Disney Theatrical Group selected TPAC and Metro Nashville Public Schools for the first pilot of Disney Musicals in Schools (DMIS) outside of New York City. The DMIS mission is to help create sustainable theatre programs in under-resourced public schools.
At no cost to them, participating elementary and middle schools receive a performance license for the Disney KIDS or Disney JR. musical of their choice, a comprehensive ShowKit, and in-school support from TPAC staff and teaching artists.
