🎉 Opening Day! 🎉

Huge congratulations to Olivia Daniels and Ben Massey on the official opening of The Secret Life of Riley K!

Today’s audience at St. Joseph the Worker CES (Thornhill) was completely engaged — laughing, listening, thinking, and feeling right along with Riley’s journey.

Directed by Paige Madsen and written by David Gershon, Ali Joy Richardson, and Judy Adelman Gershon, this innovative two-person musical explores mental health with honesty, heart, humour, and hope.

We are so proud of this powerful production — and this is just the beginning! The Secret Life of Riley K will tour to thousands of students across the GTA, sparking meaningful conversations in schools and classrooms.

At Education Arts Canada, we set the stage for learning.
