Your Visit
Welcome to MTYP! We are Manitoba’s only professional theatre company presenting work especially made for young audiences. We also run the largest theatre school in Western Canada. We hope everyone feels safe and welcomed at MTYP.
“Take a child to theatre. Take them all the time.” – Huffington Post.
MTYP is located at 2 Forks Market Road. We are directly across from the Forks Market.
Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks (also known as Nestawaya in Cree) has been a meeting place for over 6,000 years. Indigenous Peoples traded at The Forks, followed by European fur traders, Scottish settlers, railway pioneers and tens of thousands of immigrants. Come experience an exceptional array of dining options, fantastic local makers and retailers, a constantly changing slate of entertainment and events, and many unique attractions that encompass the site’s natural, historic and built features.
Manitoba Theatre for Young People is proud to make its home at the historic location of The Forks in Winnipeg, a traditional meeting place for centuries.
We are grateful to our friends and partners at the Forks North Portage (FNP) Corporation for allowing our patrons three complimentary hours of parking when you attend an MTYP performance at our theatre or bring your child to a class within our theatre school. (Free parking does not apply for theatre rentals).
It is really simple – all you need to do is communicate your license plate number to our frontline staff. We will enter it into the FNP data base and you will receive three hours of free parking after the entry is made.
Parking is available in the parkade to the north of the building as well as the parking lots south of MTYP and behind Inn at the Forks.
More info about parking at The Forks.
