No Strings Theatre’s mission is to provide opportunity for young people to develop their skills in all aspects of the music theatre arts—singing, dancing, acting, production—under the guidance of trained professional artists.
We aim to level economic and other barriers to provide equal opportunity for young people to participate in our programs.No Strings Theatre program, established since 2005, was modelled after local and international training programs in opera, such as the Summer Opera Lyric Theatre in Toronto, and other such programs designed to provide professional artistic training by means of an intensive program outside of an institutional setting. The founding goal of No Strings Theatre was to create an all-inclusive, easily-accessible, program for students, ages 13 to 21, who were keen to develop performing arts skills but might not be ready for serious operatic training. We have now, through popular demand, extended our programming from Pre-teens (Tween Program) to Emerging Professional Artists (EAP program) as well as Adults in the general community.
Our Young Company (14-19) is designed to be a training ground for pre-college youth interested in growing their performance skills. Through workshops and intensives, the aim is to achieve the balancing of singing, acting, and dancing skills towards further studies in the arts or just for personal growth and enjoyment. Participants are welcome regardless of previous experience or skills.
Our Emerging Artists Program (19-35) invites participants who are studying or have recently graduated from a performing arts training program, to further develop their skills under the mentorship of experienced industry professionals. Participants in the program will be responsible for all aspects of the staging of a musical theatre production, including performance, stage and production management, design and directing, budgeting, marketing, and promotion. The program will also encourage exploration of new repertoire for musical theatre through table reads, workshops, and developmental projects. This program is appropriate for participants in post-secondary education, or those who are launching careers in theatre performance or production.
