Mission Statement
Mainstage Theatre Company (MTC) provides youth, aged 11-21, with the opportunity to experience the magic of pre-professional musical theatre. Under the guidance of some of Canada’s theatre leaders - directors, choreographers and music directors, MTC mounts two full music theatre productions and offers a number of workshops and theatre events each year. These events provide youth with diverse opportunities to audition and perform, develop their artistic abilities, learn the technical aspects of theatre production, and experience the power of delivering an outstanding production to an audience. Since its inauguration in 2008, MTC has become renowned for the quality of its productions, (talented performers, beautifully designed and crafted sets and costumes) and has become a top competitor in the Toronto theatre education industry. Our intensive actor-training program unlocks our students’ unique and creative talents, and provides the tools that aspiring young actors need to make the most of their potential. Engaging in the process of music theatre productions also helps develop personal skills and resources that have life-long benefits, such as greater self-confidence, self-discipline, effective time-management and self-awareness. MTC’s engagement of youth in musical theatre enables them to experience the value of ‘community’, and ‘belonging’ and the satisfaction of participating in an artistic project that enhances peoples’ lives. It allows youth to explore issues in contemporary society, and to explore their own goals, aspirations and relationship to the community at large. Music theatre also brings together diverse people with widely different experiences of life and as such, facilitates the exploration of, and sharing in, Toronto’s cultural mosaic. Lastly, MTC provides students with a creative, nurturing, joyful and inspiring experience.

Mainstage is a registered charitable, not-for-profit organization (NPO). The Company completes the following initiatives each season (year): 1. A fall production - a smaller scale musical theatre production of approximately 22 cast members with a director, music director, stage manager and choreographer. This show is live over 3 days (4-6 performances) which may include school performances as well. Acceptance into the fall production is on an audition basis. 2. A spring production - a large scale grand musical theatre production with over 30 cast members, a large ensemble and often large dance numbers. It also includes a director, music director, stage manager and choreographer. This show is live over 5 days (5-6 performances) and may include school performances as well. Acceptance into the spring production is an audition basis. 3. Weekend ’24 hour musicals’ (“24 Hour Musical”) intensive low production musicals that occur over a weekend. No audition is necessary and includes approximately 15-2cast members. Cast members learn, rehearse and perform a musical over a weekend and the show is a surprise to them, the artistic team and the audience. There are one or two 24-Hour Musicals each season. 4. Workshops- various one day workshops that are led by different guest artists. These are in person or virtual. 5. Annual Gala - an annual fundraising event that includes performances and other fundraising activities.
