MTYP is such an excellent place - it would be a great loss to the city if it didn't continue!
Under the artistic direction of Leslee Silverman, the shows at MTYP have brought world class family theatre to Winnipeg for thirty years.  The Theatre School has brought quality arts education to thousands of children and youth.

Come to a public community meeting to show support for MTYP and to brainstorm and develop new initiatives.
