The Acting Up Stage Company commitment to building the audiences and artists of tomorrow is focused around the One Song Glory program. Each year, up to forty-five young people 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. After one month, these young artists showcase their skills in front of a live audience.

One Song Glory is founded on two principles: 1) the focus, determination and self-discipline that theatre requires, builds character and is of lasting value, and 2) that this is to be a no cost program; affordability is not a barrier to participation. We are proud to report that to date, over 250 young people from different catchments across the province have completed One Song Glory.

In addition to One Song Glory, we have a vibrant student ticket program for our Mainstage production involving subsidized student tickets, the creation of educational study guides, and workshop/forum activities allowing students to interact with artists.
