Young People’s Theatre (YPT) launches the next stage in the company’s 58-year history, co-led by Artistic Director Herbie Barnes and Executive Director Nancy Webster. This new era also marks the unveiling of YPT’s expanded and renovated theatre complex, more than 10 years in the making. As Canada’s largest and oldest professional theatre for young audiences, the company produces and presents a full season of theatre and arts education programming, serving approximately 150,000 patrons annually. With the purchase of a multi-use building across the street from its historic theatre, YPT has expanded its footprint, increased its accessibility, refreshed its lobbies, and upgraded the theatrical equipment capabilities of its 433-seat Ada Slaight Stage and 115-seat Studio. United in vision, the two facilities now anchor the corner of Front and Frederick streets in downtown Toronto creating Canada’s largest theatre complex for young people.

YPT is staffed with professional artist educators who create programs and resources designed to connect the shows presented on stage to the Ontario curriculum, and fully engage students. These resources include complimentary study guides, play companion workshops, post-show Q&As with cast members, and teacher preview evenings. The enriched learning experiences of YPT’s Education & Participation Department provide young people with opportunities to develop their whole being. Learn more at youngpeoplestheatre.org.
