Bring the magic of an AMTC musical to your school between October 2024 and June 2025!
For more than 40 years we’ve delighted in creating and performing crowd-pleasing musical productions for more than 60,000 students every year. Next season, we’ll continue that tradition with an exciting new adaptation of one of the greatest fairy tales of all time: Rapunzel!
Rapunzel, gifted with magically long and glorious hair, has been imprisoned by a nefarious witch in a great tower all her life. But, one day, strangers wander by with a magic of their own that will set Rapunzel Free: music! Let down your hair and welcome AMTC into your schools to experience their hilarious and heart-warming new musical!
Each performance comes with all of the treasured elements of an AMTC production:
- 4 professional theatre performers amplified by microphones!
- A fully-staged musical featuring an unforgettable score and magnificent choreography!
- A study guide complete with pre-show and post-show activities, as well as a learning song the students can sing along with the cast!
- Beautiful sets and costumes your students will never forget!
- And, for the first time since before the pandemic, we're bringing back an AMTC tradition... We will include student volunteers in each performance!

VISSIA
Composer
Born in Stony Plain, Alberta, Edmonton's VISSIA started songwriting and composing music at the age of 11. Her latest album, With Pleasure has been hailed as a triumph of pop songwriting, landing at No. 7 on CKUA's 2021 Top 100, and has earned her high-profile appearances at c/o Pop in Cologne and the UK's Great Escape Festival.
Following over a decade of dedicated practice and examinations in classical voice and piano, VISSIA received her Music Diploma from MacEwan University, with a major in composition. It was there that she began sketching out the first steps of her career as a solo performer, culminating in her debut, independently released, full-length album A Lot Less Gold (2011).
The final piece to the With Pleasure album cycle is a live performance film, edited and written by VISSIA. Live, With Pleasure (May 10, 2024) follows VISSIA and her supporting cohort across Canada on sold-out tour dates opening for indie-alternative band USS, and features never-before-seen live performances of every song from the album.
A truly versatile and gifted artist, VISSIA is a self-taught graphic artist, as well as creative director across every project she brings into being, from album artwork to music videos. She remains dedicated to her creative expansion, passion, and her craft on her forthcoming album, Surfacing.
