Over the past 58 years, YPT has staged many of the most important plays that form the canon of work for youth in our country. YPT continues to develop new work and create partnerships with theatre companies across the country and around the world. However, that is not all. The enriched learning experiences of YPT’s Education & Participation (E&P) Department provide young people with opportunities to develop their whole being. Through our workshops in community shelters and agencies, educational initiatives in Toronto classrooms, Drama School programs in several locations throughout the City, and training and apprenticeship opportunities, we place learning at the centre of everything we do. At YPT, we strive for a positive and lasting impact on the emotional, social and intellectual development of young people through our shows and programming – giving them the chance to grow into the unique and wonderful people they were born to be.
