MTYP has recently undergone construction focused on accessibility; the audition room, rehearsal hall, theatre and greenroom are all on the same level, elevator to access the second floor, push buttons on all doors and gender-neutral washrooms with accessible stalls on both levels.
Equity members will be seen first at all open audition calls.
CAEA members: please bring your membership card to the audition.
