"open the window"

a special project of the cmtdb

In November 2022, Talk Is Free Theatre (TIFT) and Theatre Collingwood teamed up with support from Heritage Canada to produce Open the Window, a nationwide celebration of Arts Education and Canadian Musical Theatre. A committee of TIFT artists asked students and educators from across the country to nominate peers and colleagues who had a positive impact over the course of the Pandemic. The committee then helped each nominator select a song from a Canadian musical that best celebrates the achievement of their nominee.
