Obsidian Youth Program

This year, we are proud to be launching the Obsidian Youth Program - comprised of two unique initiatives to empower at-risk youth, ages 13-18, who otherwise would not have the chance to participate in professional theatre. These programs are for youth who have a passion for theatre, but not the access.

First Ticket Program


- enables Toronto youth to attend Obsidian productions free of charge.

The Shards Program


- is a playwrights unit where youth will create original pieces of theatre, work with mentors and have their play professionally workshopped.
