One Song Glory
About the Program
One Song Glory 2012
Our commitment to building the audiences and artists of tomorrow is focused around the month-long training program, One Song Glory. Each year, up to forty-five 13 – 19 year olds from diverse backgrounds and communities across Ontario come together to train under the guidance of Toronto’s top musical theatre professionals in a positive and encouraging environment.
One Song Glory is founded on two principles:
- the focus, determination and self-discipline that theatre requires, builds character and is of lasting value; and
- that this is a no cost program; affordability is not a barrier to participation.
Participants take master classes, participate in workshops, and train with professional directors and musical directors over four weekends. In addition, each student gets the chance to work on two musical theatre numbers that they perform at a final showcase performance.
