About the Drama School<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We are the largest theatre school in Canada providing drama classes for toddlers to teens in two different locations. Classes take place at YPT’s brand new education centre, YPT 161 Studios<\/strong>, as well as Etobicoke’s Assembly<\/strong> Hall<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YPT\u2019s 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 56th year<\/a> – embodies our theatre\u2019s vision: to have a positive impact on the emotional, social and intellectual development of young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
