One Song Glory is a free musical theatre training program for teens aged 13 to 19 across Ontario.
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.
We are proud to report that, to date, over 400 young people from across the province have completed One Song Glory, without cost to any of the participants.
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.
