Toronto's First Marching Band Theatre Company Returns with Brand New Show, 'High School Symphony'

Last year, the immerse marching band theatre company, The Teeny Tiny Music Show premiered in Toronto with their show of the same name in the 2017 The Toronto Fringe Festival and are returning this year with their brand new play, High School Symphony, a tale of friendship, revenge, secret crushes, passing notes, and if we ever REALLY got over what happened in high school. This musical whirlwind is premiering April 14th 2018, 7:30pm at The Painted Lady, located at 218 Ossington Avenue downtown Toronto.

A remarkable friendship between two grade school girls is tested when they face suspension for sexual harassment towards their teacher. The drama unfolds with a cast that consists of two BFF's and a hidden eight-piece marching band, who crawl out of the woodwork during the duration of the show and double as hot teachers, best friends, the guy who only plays "Wonderwall", and of course, the enemy popular group. The marching band has decked the soundtrack with video game references, anime theme songs, and slicked-up sounds from the early 00's that got every millennial through their pimply prepubescence!

Written by and starring Hayley Pace. The show was conceived after Pace revisited a Ziplock bag of over one hundred origami notes addressed to her from her high school girlfriends that were tucked away in her hometown bedroom for almost a decade. Within these notes were touching stories of first love's lost, devising plans to avoid being friend-zoned, provoking teachers, infamous dick jokes, and coming to grasp with whom were the truest friends.

Hayley is the founder and Artistic Director of The Teeny Tiny Music Show and has worked extensively in the Toronto theatre scene as a designer, performer and playwright, and internationally in cities such as Antwerp, Prague, Edinburgh, Minneapolis and New York. She has worked with renowned Toronto theatre designers Peter McKinnon, Phillip Silver and Shawn Kerwin as well as Broadway and television actress, Tovah Feldshuh.
