🎭 "Theatre has the power to create windows into experiences that aren't our own. And in doing so, it can build empathy and empower us to act in the world." -Kim Snider, High School Drama and English Teacher

BARRIERS TO ARTS EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS INCREASES EACH YEAR. Radical budget reductions at the school board level have drastically limited youth access to our productions and workshops, despite a growing interest in our programming. With more structural changes promised for the new school year, we need your support more than ever to provide these essential experiences for our community's most vulnerable youth.

β€œThe STUDIO 180 IN CLASS workshop was an inspiring experience for our students, who embraced the challenge of stepping beyond their comfort zones...the space felt safe for students to express themselves freely. Many walked away feeling empowered, having found their voice and connected with a deeper part of who they are.”

- Jacqueline Paradis, Drama and Arts & Culture SHSM Teacher, Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, Halton Catholic District School Board

πŸ”Ά We’re already more than halfway to our $10,000 goal, with just $3,000 left to raise. HELP US cross the finish line before June 30!

πŸ”Ž CAN YOU SPOT Studio 180 Theatre Founding Artistic Director, Joel Greenberg, in this photo along with some other famous faces?

This photo makes a brief appearance in, "You Had to Be There: How the Toronto Godspell Ignited the Comedy Revolution, Spread Love & Overalls, and Created a Community That Changed the World", the closing film of the Toronto Jewish Film Festival for which Studio 180 is proud to be a Community Partner!

🎭 We love documentaries at Studio 180. And the only thing better than a documentary - is a documentary about THEATRE! Join us Sunday June 14th at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema for an intimate, hilarious, and moving documentary exploring the legendary 1972 Toronto production of GODSPELL which launched the careers of Eugene Levy, Paul Shaffer, Victor Garber, Martin Short, Gilda Radner, Jayne Eastwood, Andrea Martin, and other comic luminaries β€” igniting a comedy revolution that spawned shows like SCTV and Saturday Night Live.

🌈 Featuring interviews with all surviving cast members, never-before-seen archival footage and an audio recording of the full production, not to mention late-night parties at Eugene and Marty’s Avenue Road apartment, the film affirms the profound and lasting impact of this little Canadian production, and how it changed entertainment forever. This is a film not to be missed!

πŸŽ„ Three Caribbean migrant workers carve out a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar landscape. In the quiet moments between shifts, they forge unshakeable bonds through humour, grit, and a shared determination to survive their first Canadian winter.
