Come see all that work come to life this Friday and Saturday!

CELEBRATE AND COUNT DOWN WITH US!
We’re counting down six amazing decades to lead us into our celebration concert!

The 1977–1986 decade was a period of Bold Evolution. EMP was expanding from a light opera company to embrace every style of theatre imaginable - from the lush, operatic romance of The Gypsy Baron and Naughty Marietta to the high-energy, modern hits like Bye Bye Birdie and West Side Story. Whether we were succeeding in business (without really trying!) or exploring the "Sweet Mystery of Life," this decade proved that our company could handle everything from a classic operetta to a "Great Night for Singing."

Join us this weekend as we celebrate the performers who paved the way for the EMP we love today!

🎭: Naughty Marietta (1984)

🎟️ CONCERT TICKETS: Call 416-248-0410 or visit the link in our bio!

CELEBRATE AND COUNT DOWN WITH US!
We’re counting down six amazing decades to lead us into our celebration concert!

The 1987-1996 decade was defined by our Pioneering Spirit. From the grand tap-dancing heights of 42nd Street to the soulful shores of Showboat, EMP was proving that we could handle the biggest challenges Broadway had to offer. But this era was also about looking forward - we commissioned a new Canadian original musical and were thrilled to host the workshop and world premiere of Neighbours.

Join us as we celebrate 60 years in the arts scene!

🎭: Neighbours Workshop (1991)

CELEBRATE AND COUNT DOWN WITH US!
We’re counting down six amazing decades to lead us into our celebration concert!

1997-2006 was all about Grand Spectacle. From the sweeping hills of Oklahoma! to the Technicolour dreams of Joseph, this era proved that no scene was too big and no dream was too ambitious for EMP. Whether we were Singin' in the Rain or wandering Into the Woods, these years defined what it meant to bring Broadway-sized magic to Etobicoke.

As Mame herself would say, "Life is a banquet," and this decade was a feast of legendary hits! Come see a few more at our 60th Anniversaru Concert - "Love is an Open Door" - This Friday and Saturday only!

🎭: Mame (2004)
