Theatre School at MTYP
Just as the touch of a magic wand opened new possibilities for Cinderella, a single event can open worlds of growth for a child. Having fun learning to act, finding your place in the spotlight, and meeting friends to last a lifetime are just some of the magical adventures waiting for you at MTYP.
My own experiences at MTYP Theatre School have brought surprising rewards and developed skills I did not dream I would ever claim to have. I have heard that same story from many people, young and old, who have come to MTYP. The programs described in the following pages are intended to give that opportunity to every child. My wish is that you are touched by magic, and discover your magic touch at MTYP this year.

Why MTYP?
Tap into your creative potential and make the friends of a lifetime at Manitoba Theatre for Young People's Theatre School. Whether you're passionate about pursuing a life of acting, or just want to have fun putting on plays and making movies with your new friends, MTYP is the place for you!
The thrill of performing is a big part of what makes our theatre program fun. Students in all classes have the opportunity to present their work to an audience. Young people ages 9 and up are invited to audition for one of MTYP's student companies; The Junior Company, Musical Theatre Company, Shakespeare Company, and Young Company perform on stage with full costumes, props, lighting, and scenery provided by our professional production team.
Young people involved in theatre activities grow in confidence and social skills and develop their capacity to express themselves creatively. Many tell the story of how being involved in a theatre production was the best time they ever had.
