Shifting Ground Collective is Toronto’s home for emerging musical theatre talent. Our work spans developmental processes for new Canadian musicals, concert and cabaret programming, and full-scale productions of beloved musical theatre favourites – all with a focus on spotlighting the next generation of great Canadian musical theatre talent.

Hailed as a “company to watch” 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 “Top Ten Breakthrough Artists of 2023”. 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.
