Single Tickets for YPT's 50th Anniversary Season on Sale This Week

Young People's Theatre (YPT) recently announced the playbill for its 2015/16 50th Anniversary Season. This milestone is marked by the return of beloved audience favourites, re-imagined classics and innovative new work, each a testament to YPT founder Susan Rubes's statement: Only the best is good enough for children.

"For me that means encouraging them to delight in the joys of life, empowering them to handle the small and large challenges of existence, teaching them genuine respect for others, and finally, giving them freedom to make choices for which they will be responsible. Our anniversary program highlights that the best for children is what gives them the optimal chance to thrive... now and into their futures." - Allen MacInnis, Artistic Director

"Over the past 50 years, Young People's Theatre has made an indelible mark on the City of Toronto. My mother was a volunteer in the early days, working alongside founder Susan Rubes. Even then, this unique company's value to our City was clear. Through its professional productions and educational programming, YPT has introduced the performing arts to millions of children. Thank you, YPT. You are vital to Toronto's cultural make-up. Here's to the next 50 years!" - Mayor John Tory
