Acting Up Stage Company is one of the few organizations in Canada committed to developing new Canadian musicals.

NoteWorthy

NoteWorthy is a program designed to systematically advance the development of new Canadian musicals. After a national call-for-submissions, we select a group of playwrights and composers for a five part process:

  1. Composers and playwrights are matched to explore artistic collaboration.
  2. Two sets of collaborators move on to develop a dramatic concept.
  3. The collaborators with the most promising concept are commissioned to write the full musical.
  4. Actors, directors, musical directors, and designers work with the collaborators and workshop the musical.
  5. The musical has its world premiere on our Mainstage.

Alumni of NoteWorthy include:

Playwrights:
Chris Craddock
Andrew Kushnir
Rosa Laborde
Composers:
Zachary Florence
Reza Jacobs
Bryce Kulak
