🌈 This Pride Month, we proudly reaffirm our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging by providing a safe space for all youth to come together to celebrate music and community. We believe everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and supported exactly as they are. We stand alongside 2SLGBTQIA+ communities while working to create safe spaces for all youth, where integrity, dignity and mutual respect are the core values behind everything we do.

We are estatic to have some of our students performing their original Home Song collaboration projects at this event!! Please support Mission's aspiring youth and come to the show! Ticket details are in the event link below!

We are pleased to announce the final show for this season, a real life fairy tale come true, featuring the dynamic MarKaren Music band!

MarKaren began as an international romance across the Pacific Ocean between New Zealand and Canada in 2007. Mark and Karen created music together flying back and forth between their two countries multiple times for more than 6 years before landing permanently in Canada in 2013. A wedding uniting them both in February 2016 cemented their partnership and since then it has been a whirlwind of musical creations, with tours and festival performances across Canada, England, Germany, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.

MarKaren's unique sound has been described as blues acoustic folk spliced with a twist of funk and jazz. Their heartfelt intimate performances and thought provoking lyrics weave lyrical stories that reflect the realities of life, serving as a reminder that we are not alone on this journey. Their songs offer us human connection and a way to express the inexpressible when words fail us, as they often do. MarKaren's music connects souls and mirrors everyday emotions, providing the soundtrack to our inner thoughts, uniting people together in celebration, enlivening audiences in an emotionally open and inviting atmosphere. Accept their invitation to come listen and be amongst friends. With them, you are always welcome.

It's been 6 years since they've graced our stage as a full band and we're looking forward to their always energetic and captivating performance! It all goes down on Saturday June 13, 2026 at 7 pm at The Hall at Heritage Park Center (formerly the Clarke Theatre Cafetorium). We will also have special original song performances from the students of the Youth Open Stage Association. Get all the event details at the link below.

Sadly, the Youth Open Stage Association Christmas party is cancelled due to a power outage. The party will be moved to the first class of the New Year as a New Year's Party along with a very special presentation from a professional guest voice actor all the way from New Zealand, Daniel Denova! He has acted in multiple projects world wide, such as the video game Path Of Exile and the movies Dune II and Lord Of The Rings War of the Rohirim! It's going to be a wonderful event and we hope to see you there!

Happy Holidays from all of us at Youth Open Stage Association to all of you!
