Young People's Theatre, Children's theatre in downtown Toronto, Canada
The Young People's Theatre is a theatre in downtown Toronto dedicated to performances for young audiences. It operates two performance spaces where about eight productions run each year, and also runs a drama school at multiple locations across the city.
The venue was founded in 1966 and moved to its current location in 1977 in a renovated building from 1887. This building once served as a horse stable before being transformed into a theatre space.
The theatre presents stories that speak to children from many different backgrounds and communities. Its shows invite young audiences to connect with narratives that explore their own world and experiences.
The theatre is located in downtown Toronto and is easily accessible by bus or streetcar. You should check in advance whether performances are scheduled for your visit, as shows do not run on every day.
Several famous Canadian performers began their careers at this theatre. The venue has shaped multiple generations of actors and remains a launching point for young talent in the country.
