About Us

a front company is unapologetically bold, youthful, and experimental.

We make vital, provocative work for young adults—and anyone young at heart.

We produce daring new pieces and reimagine classic works in ways that surprise, challenge, and excite.

We thrive on reinvention, constantly finding new ways of working and refusing to do the same thing twice.

We believe in long-term collaborations, nurturing ideas over years to bring them to life in their fullest form.

a front company is a cross-Canadian company producing coast to coast.
