Acting Up Stage Company

During each Mainstage production we offer student matinees. Heavily subsidized tickets are available to secondary and post-secondary schools, allowing educators to use our productions to spark discussion about the social and political histories and themes addressed.

Each student matinee ends with a post-show question and answer period with the cast of the musical. As well, teachers are sent copies of our study guide, offering information, activities and lesson plans to enhance the theatre going experience for students.

Acting Up Stage Company is dedicated to continuing the conversation outside the performance with some exciting activities and opportunities for our audiences. Beginning in the theatre, we’ll be offering Art Making Workshops with our design team, where audience members will get hands on experience with creative elements involved in our productions. We’ll also be initiating a ‘Choose-Your–Own–Adventure’ Post Show Chat series immediately following Tuesday and Student Matinee performances of our Falsettos, where audiences can choose one of several topics which they are interested in learning more about.

As well, we’ll be holding interactive website, Facebook and Twitter discussions with company members to give you the scoop on what happens backstage. Last, and certainly not least, we’ll be launching a brand new blog called Musical Notes, which will follow all the developments, trends and gossip in musical theatre both locally and around the world.
