About KENSINGTON: THE MUSICAL

Music Director: Beau Dixon & Raha Javanfar
Copyist: Jonathan Corkal-Astorga
Dramaturges: Mel Hague & Kevin Wong

Kensington: The Musical, set in Toronto's iconic heritage landmark, takes us inside a family owned burrito shop, where an eccentric cast of characters -- the employees, owners, regulars, and visiting tourists -- face the daily trials of running a business, and grapple with the challenges of the future. What becomes of a legacy in the face of uncertainty? This is a story about embracing change, managing relationships, honouring history, and leaning on community.
Content Advisory: This podcast contains mature content and strong language.
About First Drafts
A new work development program by The Musical Stage Company & Sheridan College.
Grounded in the urgency of the stories we need to hear now, First Drafts is the commission, drafting, workshopping, rehearsal, and public audio presentation of three new short musicals which reimagine, reconstitute, and reanimate the Western musical theatre canon.
Sheridan students will audition, rehearse and perform the new works while collaborating in the creative process with experienced music theatre writers, composers, and directors, gaining valuable skills needed for workshop performance that is integral for their professional success but not offered in traditional theatre training programs. The culmination of the 2023 First Drafts program will be performed by the graduating class of 2023.
