Brenda Gorlick, Lois Brothers and Laura Kolisnyk are the “Triple Threats” in Triple Threat Productions. Our lifelong friendship and professional affiliations have banded us together to create AIM 4 ALL – All Inclusive Musical training and production company.
AIM 4 ALL is offering a pilot program in early April promoting all-inclusive musical theatre training for teens and young adults. Our initiative aims to address the lack of inclusive performing arts programs in our community, creating a safe and nurturing space where creativity and diversity can flourish. We are proud to be working in conjunction with the Manitoba Down Syndrome Society to bring our collective vision to life.
We have collectively been working with members of the disabled, neuro-diverse and neurotypical communities for over six decades. The AIM 4 ALL pilot program, sponsored in part by Manitoba Arts Council, is launching as a spring break musical theatre camp. Our long term goal is to develop year round training which culminates in fully produced musicals – a first of its kind in Manitoba. Our hope is that AIM 4 ALL will inspire others to follow suit with similar programming.

What began as Brenda Gorlick’s YoungStars 20 years ago evolved quickly into StudioWorks Academy- the training wing of Winnipeg StudioTheatre. As the originator and director of the program, I am proud of the legacy that the program has achieved. It has been a driving force in the development of young (and older) talent, both onstage and behind the scenes, a strong community participant in local and international events and a rich template for other successful programs. Through the commitment of so many artistic associates, students, parents, volunteers, board members and creative team members, I have always marvelled at the quality and calibre of our productions, performances and special events. Thank-you to our alumni and to YOU, our many supporters who have shared the past twenty years with us. Onward and upward!
