What a phenomenal run! Like any good Broadway star, we needed a dramatic, two-week hiatus before the press release. Enjoy the memories! More to come!

What an unforgettable day in Stratford! 🎭✨

Our students had the incredible opportunity to attend a performance of Guys and Dolls at the beautiful Stratford Festival — and the experience went far beyond the stage.

A huge thank you to the festival for providing our students with the chance to participate in an engaging workshop where they learned choreography and elements from the show, followed by a wonderful Q&A session with two of the cast members after the performance. Hearing firsthand about life as a professional performer was both inspiring and educational for our aspiring artists.

We are so grateful for opportunities like these that bring theatre to life and help foster creativity, confidence, and a deeper appreciation for the arts. Bravo to the cast and crew of Guys and Dolls for an outstanding performance! 👏🎶🎲

At a time when social media and screen time are contributing to isolation and poor mental health, music education gives students a place to connect face-to-face.

To our incredible cast, crew, pit, and creative team — thank you for your talent, heart, dedication, and countless hours of hard work over the past six months. You brought so much joy, laughter, and love to the stage, and you should all be incredibly proud of what you accomplished together.
