The Secret Life of Riley K.

One Deep Breath Mental Health Series
Live In-School Program • Touring February 2026
Mental Health & Anxiety | Music/Arts/Drama
Recommended for Grades 4-6+

Riley strives for perfection—but the thought of giving a big speech turns into a big mess of anxiety. Along the way, Riley discovers she’s not alone and learns how to move forward with the support of family, friends, and her own helpful strategies.

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.

Intermediate & Other Students

Our Junior/Intermediate shows were initially designed for students in grades 4-6; however, many schools find that they are appropriate content for their Grade 3 students, Grade 7 students, and sometimes even Grade 8 students. We are happy to provide more information so you can make your own decision about the “fit” for your school.
