Jay has it all—popularity, talent, and a great best friend. But when his world spins out of control, he faces real challenges. With help from the audience, Jay learns to manage his emotions and repair relationships—setting him on a path to make things right.

The ground-breaking One Deep Breath series was developed with the assistance of The Ontario Trillium Foundation and a team of mental health professionals. Created by Juno award-winning composers Judy & David Gershon and by Canadian director and playwright Ali Joy Richardson, the program includes an unforgettable in-school performance and excellent teacher resource materials to extend the learning through the year. Ask us how to bring this acclaimed and important program to your school.

Intermediate & Other Students

Our Junior/Intermediate shows were designed for students in grades 4-6; however, some schools find that they are appropriate content for other students. We are happy to provide more information so you can make your own decision about the “fit” for your school.
