TD Bank Group increases support of Studio 180

“In times of crisis, arts education is particularly valuable, inspiring creativity, even in confinement, providing psychological support, and building connections between people and communities.” — UNESCO, 2020

TD Bank Group, a long-time supporter of Studio 180 Theatre’s education program, has increased its support of our online workshops with high school students for our 2020/21 Season. As our IN CLASS Online Supporter, TD is helping Studio 180 deliver 90 online workshops to 30 classes, reaching over 600 students across the Greater Toronto Region.

Now in its 11th year, Studio 180’s IN CLASS program uses theatre to help students humanize social and political issues, develop critical thinking and leadership skills, and foster empathy. With TD’s support, this year we are moving our program completely online to meet the synchronous and asynchronous learning needs of students amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

TD believes that when people are included and empowered to participate in their community, good things happen. Through The Ready Commitment, they are creating more connected communities by increasing access to the opportunities young people need to participate and feel a sense of belonging in their community.

Studio 180 is grateful for TD’s continued partnership and support of our education program.
