Support our EMBOLDEN Campaign

Over the past couple of months, a record 500 high school students came to see Studio 180 Theatre’s mainstage production of Four Minutes Twelve Seconds. Students received ticket subsidies, participated in post-show talkbacks with cast members, and explored the themes of the play more deeply through three IN CLASS workshop sessions. 

Studio 180’s IN CLASS workshop program supports youth mental health and wellbeing by: 

We need your help to continue this vital work.

Studio 180 Theatre’s EMBOLDEN CAMPAIGN aims to raise $7,000 by June 30th to support student matinee performances and our IN CLASS theatre-based workshop program. 

As an added incentive, longtime donors Rick Archbold, Kathie & Mike Krashinsky and another Anonymous donor, have pledged $4,500 in matching funds. That means for every dollar you donate, you’ll unlock another dollar from them!

Donate today and help us embolden young people through theatre!

Ellis, Kareena and Muhammad are grade 12 students that recently watched Four Minutes Twelve Seconds and participated in IN CLASS workshops around the themes of the play. Hear about the impact that Studio 180’s work has had on them.

Ellis and Kareena also participated in a series of Finding Your Voice IN CLASS workshops that culminated in the students devising a play for the National Theatre School Ontario Drama Festival. Hear about their experience creating monologues out of their own personal experiences.
