Teen Performance Companies
Teens looking for a challenging pre-professional training experience are invited to audition for Manitoba Theatre for Young People’s Teen Performance Companies.
Please note: We advise all students auditioning for our Teen Performance Companies to indicate a second course choice so we can hold a spot for you in that class if you are not accepted into a Company. If you are not invited into the Company of your choice and you decide not to take a course at MTYP this session, your course fee will be not be processed.
