AMAZING STORY OF SURVIVAL AND GROWTH IN COMMUNITY THEATRE

  The Friendly Spike Theatre Band, a grass roots Toronto organization dedicated to encouraging creative expression from the marginalized in society, will turn TWENTY YEARS OLD on October 1st 2009, as it was this day in 1989 when the ‘little company with a big heart’ Toronto Star November 1989, opened as a Canadian Corporation and a registered charity.
   This is an amazing story of survival. Although maintaining a grass roots organization in this fractured world can seem an impossible task, FSTB continues to grow. But it can’t without YOU… So please join us in celebration of:

The Friendly Spike Theatre Band
