Theatre20

Theatre 20 was founded in 2010 by a group of Canada's top musical theatre artists - many of whom are Broadway and international theatre stars - with a mission to advance the development of musical theatre in Canada.  The company aims to nurture the talent of writers and composers, and foster the development of young artists through mentorship and education programmes.  Theatre 20 is artist-led and strives to present story-driven musicals, either by developing new Canadian works or by re-imagining existing classics.

Over the past five years, Theatre 20 has supported the development of Canadian musical theatre through various workshops of new musicals, 'Pitch Week' outreach initiatives, and an inaugural Composium for aspiring musical theatre writers.  Theatre 20 has run the successful Company We Keep cabaret series with regular sold-out performances and has produced two large scale musicals - the original Canadian musical Bloodless: The Trial of Burke and Hare (nominated for 9 Dora Mavor Moore Awards) and the classic musical Company (winner of 4 Broadway World Awards).  Theatre 20%u2019s current Emerging Artist Ensemble has been the cornerstone of the company, providing mentorship, education and career-driven performance opportunities to young artists.
