About the Drama School

We are the largest theatre school in Canada providing drama classes for JK-Gr. 12 in Downtown Toronto and Etobicoke. In YPT Drama School classes, students get creative, discover new and fun ways to express themselves, and perform on a YPT stage for family and friends! Classes for JK-Gr. 12 take place at YPT’s 161 Studios in Toronto, as well as Humber College’s Lakeshore Arts and Media Studios in Etobicoke.

YPT’s Drama School is a place for young people to explore their interest in theatre, mentored by professional and experienced artists. We offer year-round programming celebrating all abilities and levels. Kids and youth discover the power of their own voice, gain confidence, self-esteem, self-awareness and make new friends and have fun! From weekly classes to full-day camps, the school – now in its 61st year – embodies our theatre’s vision: to have a positive impact on the emotional, social and intellectual development of young people.
