Art-inspired music & theatre performed in the Art Gallery of Ontario.
In its latest initiative to foster Canadian composers, lyricists, and book writers and the creation of Canadian musical theatre, Acting Up Stage Company is very excited to partner with the Art Gallery of Ontario, one of the most distinguished art museums in North America and a local treasure, for Reframed: a week of brand new short musicals inspired by the gallery’s collection.
How Reframed works:
Three teams of prominent Toronto composers and lyricists have each chosen a painting on display in the AGO’s Richard Barry Fudger Memorial Gallery to inspire a brand new 20-minute musical of their creation. From April 12-17, 2016, all three musicals will be performed nightly for an intimate audience inside the gallery.
Don’t miss this rare mash-up of visual art and musical theatre!
