Staged in intimate settings and starring Canada’s finest artists, our productions are timely, thought-provoking and entertaining, challenging expectations of the genre.
“Acting Up Stage Company began in 2005 as a response to a market dominated by musicals based on pop songs or movies,” says Artistic Producer Mitchell Marcus. “We wanted to provide an alternative musical experience with rich scores and powerful stories.”
Acting Up Stage Company has been rewarded time and again with rave reviews, sold-out performances and 13 Dora Award nominations. We have been recognized by arts councils, foundations, corporate sponsors and private donors for artistic excellence, prudent financial management and sensible strategies.
