MSOPA is celebrating 31 years of operation and our team welcomes you to celebrate with us at our annual BBQ fundraiser for our “Acting Out!” projects .Join the festivities, complete with great food prepared by Chef Josa, Owen on the grill, Music provided by DJ Gene King, live entertainment, silent auction, raffles, surprises, and guaranteed fun!

MSOPA “Acting Out!” Projects, we collaborate with culturally diverse schools and various organizations in the community to give at-risk Youths (in the social system, behavioral problems, or mental illness) low-income and/or single-parent families, the opportunity to take acting workshops on full or partial scholarship. These workshops help them build their self-esteem, confidence, develop communication skills, learn to work productively with others and just plain have fun!

Programs like this, along with other youth programs that we offer, receive little to no funding. We thank you for your continued support, which make it possible for MSOPA to remain a valuable and respected part of Montreal’s growing community.

For further information and photos, please contact Josa Maule at: (514) 483-5526 or e-mail us at: info at msopa.com

Thank you again for supporting MSOPA
