Description

Drama classes for students entering Gr. 7-12 take place at YPT’s 161 Studios, as well as Etobicoke’s Assembly Hall. See class details below.

Session 2: February – June 2026

*NEW* 13-week program!

We are thrilled to expand our second session to 13 weeks to give students more time to practice their skills and feel confident performing. Prices for Session 2 reflect the additional class hours.

In Session 2 students will…

  • Build upon their performance skills from Session 1 and learn how to transform their theatrical ideas into a performance!
  • Continue to expand their movement, voice, character creation, and improv skills through new exercises and activities specially connected to performing for an audience (projection, stage presence etc.)
  • Expand their confidence
  • Collaborate with peers to create their own play performed on a YPT stage the final weekend of the session
  • Make new friends – and have fun!
  • Final performances take place on the weekend of June 6-7, 2026
  • Please note there are no classes on March 18, 21 & 22, April 4, 5 & 8 and May 16, 17 & 20, 2026.

New students are welcome throughout the year; however each session builds upon the last. Enrolling in both sessions provides the most comprehensive learning experience.
