About Us

Hailed as a ā€œcompany to watchā€ by both Intermission and NEXT Magazine, Shifting Ground is known for ambitious projects spotlighting the future generation of the city’s musical theatre stars. Their debut venture, Ordinary Days, was a critical success – landing a 3.5/4 star rating and a spot on the Toronto Star’s ā€œTop Ten Breakthrough Artists of 2023ā€. Their sophomore production of Merrily We Roll Along played to a completely sold out run, and raving audience reviews. Additional programming includes a slate of cabaret style concerts, community programming in residency at the Tranzac Club, and developmental efforts on original Canadian musicals.
