About Us

Ten Tone Productions was founded with the vision of developing and staging original Greek theatre for the diaspora to inspire the next generation to engage with, perform, and support Hellenic arts while helping keep our traditions alive. Since 2016, our journey has evolved through the incredible talent within our community and a shared desire across generations to stay connected through our language and culture. What began with theatre has grown into a multidisciplinary platform. From visual art and music to performance and stand-up comedy, we proudly showcase and support emerging Greek-Canadian voices.

In 2020, we launched Ten Tone Cares, bringing the healing power of the arts to vulnerable communities and supporting charitable causes close to our hearts. In 2021, we introduced Ten Tone Profiles, a video series capturing personal stories from Greek and Cypriot communities in Canada. Each season highlights unique experiences, told with honesty and heart. Our productions have been embraced with overwhelming support, and our audience continues to grow across Canada, the United States, Greece, and Cyprus. We remain committed to creating high-quality original work by artists of Greek descent, bridging generations and celebrating our Hellenic roots. To our artists, audiences, and supporters: THANK YOU.

With gratitude,
George Scandalis & Elisseos Kyrillou

GEORGE SCANDALIS
Director, Author, Playwright, Actor, Producer

George Scandalis is a first-generation Greek Canadian whose love for Hellenic culture and the arts was shaped in Toronto’s Greek community. He began dancing with the Cretan Association of Toronto “Knossos” at age four, later joining the “Nefeli Theatre Arts Group.” By his teens, he was teaching Greek folkloric and modern dance, deepening his connection to heritage through performance.

In 2004, George moved to Greece to pursue acting professionally. His breakout came through Alpha Channel’s Dream Show, leading to a successful career on stage and television, including more than 30 theatrical productions and hosting roles across Greek media.

In 2016, as Ten Tone Productions launched, George debuted his first original modern Greek play, Η ΕΠΙΛΟΓΗ, followed by ΤΟ ΟΝΟΜΑ ΜΟΥ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΕΥΑ (2017) and ΟΙ ΕΡΩΣΥΛΙΕΣ (2018), establishing himself as a bold contemporary voice. In 2019, he produced SHE, Ten Tone’s first Greek Artist Expo highlighting female diaspora artists, alongside the visual launch of his debut poetry book, Οι Ερωσυλίες της Ερωφίλης, published in Athens by Εκδόσεις Λογότυπο. His contributions to Hellenic arts have been recognized across Canada, the U.S., and Greece. He is a proud recipient of the Greek America Foundation’s Forty Under 40 – Class of 2020.

In early 2020, George produced and hosted LMGAO – Laugh My Greek A$$ Off, a stand-up comedy event exploring the Greek Canadian experience. Now a fan favourite, it continues today. In 2023, he premiered his first original stage comedy, ΔΙΠΛΟΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΟΣ, which he wrote and directed.

Through Ten Tone Cares, George champions artistic work with social impact, including the launch of the Ten Tone Club, a writers’ group formed during the pandemic to connect and uplift artists. He also participates in charitable initiatives such as Ten Tone Runs for the YMCA Charity 5K, raising funds to help send children to camp.

Beyond the arts, George is a Cosmetic Medicine Expert and Educator, a Highly Awarded Business Development and Management Consultant, an International Keynote Speaker, and a Published Author.

His work on Ten Tone Profiles includes hosting and producing Season 1: Greeks Immigrating to Canada – Then vs Now (2021) and Season 2: Cyprus 50 Years Later (2024), both deeply personal explorations of identity, memory, and migration.

Through Ten Tone Cares, Elisseos volunteers with heart and dedication, supporting organizations like the Hellenic Heritage Foundation and the Greek Community of Toronto. He spearheaded Ten Tone Runs for the YMCA Charity 5K, participated in the Scotiabank Marathon committee, and helped raise over $40,000 for the Greek Community of Toronto.

He also builds community through storytelling as a columnist and continues to apply his leadership in fundraising as a Philanthropy and Events Associate with the YMCA of Greater Toronto.

HONEY SCANDALIS KYRILLOU
Baba-Obsessed, Big Attitude, The Director, The Producer, The Guest Star

Honey was born in 2009—a pure dachshund and pure Torontonian. Her Hellenic roots quickly revealed themselves, not only because she’s loud, but thanks to her unmistakable Cretan DNA. Honey hails from Hanaki and brings a flair for drama wherever she goes.

She lives for her baba, George. Her mission? To outshine Elisseos (or at least make him work for her approval). Her biggest talent is acting sweet enough to score extra treats.

A true diva with mood swings and multiple personalities, Honey keeps things spicy. And based on customer reviews, she becomes absolutely adorable when she goes one-on-one.
