Thanks to your support, we had a wonderful season this past year with performances of Little Shop of Horrors by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, and The Great Canadian Show Tune, featuring music by Canadian composers Leslie Arden, David Warrack, Tristan Hernandez, Tyler Check, Colleen & Akiva, Kevin Wong, Garry Williams, Noah MacDougall, Lezlie Wade, and Daniel Green.  

We plan a fabulous season, this year focusing on the work of our Canadian musical theatre composers in honour of Canada's  sesquicentennial.  Our summer Youth Intensive (ages 12-21) will present The Drowsy Chaperone by Greg Morrison and Lisa Lambert and for our Emerging Artist Performers (age 19-35),  we are thrilled to have the permission of a few Canadian composers to further develop one their works in more complete format.  Stay tuned for updates on what works we will plan to do in 2017 and our performance debut with the Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra!

We are really really doing it folks and it is so enlightened to see our pre-teens, teens, and emerging artists continue to thrive and grow BUT to be honest, we are doing it with excessively limited funds and are regretfully able to pay our creative team members less and less.  Some are even donating their services and/or making donations.  Our professionals are supporting us because of their belief in our mission to aid youths to develop through the arts.   Their budget is getting squeezed to less than what is costs us to rent spaces, promote, etc.   It seems unfair for artists and arts organizations to continue this financial compromise and struggle to make ends meet.  Well, we are really not making those ends meet well enough and we need your help more than ever this season to support our plans for these Canadian presentations we hope to be able to produce, and in particular, our emerging artists who desperately need a forum to exercise their art, make contacts, and begin to support themselves as they branch out from their formal post-secondary training.
