The Musical Stage Co.
February 2017
This annual opportunity is open to musical theatre artists under 30 years of age who are under-exposed in Toronto and its surrounding areas. Through an open audition process, two artists are selected and receive a cash prize, mentorship throughout the season, a showcase performance/cabaret on one of our ‘dark nights,’ as well as a role in our annual concert. The Syd & Shirley Banks Prize for Emerging Musical Theatre Artists generously provides two musical theatre artists the opportunity to advance their careers through financial assistance, mentorship and increased exposure.
I loved working with these incredible young artists as one of the 2016-17 RBC Apprentice Artists. Their cabaret …What Now? was an exploration of the artist journey, and the fear and joy that comes along the road.
