The story
The theatre was founded in 1965 as Actors' Showcase, and incorporated in 1977. In 1982, Leslee Silverman became the Artistic Director, and MTYP became a professional theatre devoted to young people.
For many years, the theatre operated out of the Gas Station Theatre in the Osborne Village area of the city.
In 1999 the MTYP moved to the Canwest Performing Arts Centre (now the Shaw Performing Arts Center), a 28,000 square feet (2,600 m2) facility in The Forks, built to house the theatre and its school.
Pablo Felices-Luna has been the Artistic Director since 2014.
