A popular local theatre organization is opening a new studio downtown, with Boundless possibilities!

Vocally Inspired Performers (VIP) founder, Marisa Hachey, says this new adventure has been a long time in the making.

“We searched for over a year for our perfect location and are delighted to have found the ideal spot, right in the heart of town,” says Hachey. The Boundless studio is located at 5 Bascom Street, a convenient, short walk from the Uxbridge Music Hall, where the group often performs.

“Boundless Studio Uxbridge is first and foremost the home of Vocally Inspired Performers, where we will rehearse for our upcoming productions,” says Hachey. “We will now also be able to offer much more performing arts programming for a wider variety of ages and experience levels, so that more people can experience the joy of musical theatre.”

Hachey also runs Princess Parties, as well as first aid and CPR classes, and says she is overjoyed to finally have a home base for these offerings as well.

“The dream is for Boundless Studios Uxbridge to be as ever-growing and as multi-faceted as the wonderful community it serves,” says Hachey. “We are eager to hear any and all ideas for what could be brought to life at the studio, because the possibilities are truly…BOUNDLESS! I am honoured to be the captain of the ship, but this studio is meant to be a place for everyone where “boundless possibilities await.”

Boundless Studio will have its grand opening event on May 4, beginning at 1 p.m., with a ribbon cutting ceremony. They will be offering tours of the space, announcing some upcoming programming and launching their website. “Plus, of course photos, refreshments and giveaways!” says Hachey.

Vocally Inspired Performers is currently working on their 15th production, set to hit the Uxbridge Musical Hall stage this August. They will be performing The Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition, with a cast of over 30 local youth and a pup ready to play Toto!

Hachey says they are very excited to run their first production rehearsals in the new studio space, and will have a full schedule of upcoming courses and programs released with the launch of their website, boundlessuxbridge.com, on May 4.

“I am feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for the support I have received from my wonderful family, my VIP community, and the community at large,” says Hachey. “I want to extend my boundless appreciation to everyone who has jumped in to lend a hand. I can’t thank everyone enough for helping my dream come true.”
