Description
Deadline: Ongoing
At YPT, learning is at the centre of why and how they operate our professional theatre and drama school for children. They seek to have a positive impact on the emotional, social and intellectual development of young people. They believe the theatre we create for kids deserves every bit as much care as that created for adults.
They demand of themselves a deep level of engagement in all they do – and seek to provide it for those who experience our work. And they are committed to reflecting the diversity of this marvellous, still under-construction world our young people live in. These are the criteria that they consider when reading new submissions.

Submission
We accept scripts on an on-going, year-round basis.
We are only able to offer developmental support to Canadian playwrights. However, we are willing to accept submissions of produced plays from international playwrights for production consideration. Each play submission should include:
- Your full mailing address, phone number and e-mail address.
- A cover letter containing information about the development of the play, what stage you feel the script is at, any past or current productions, and any contractual obligations you have with other theatres regarding this play.
- Synopsis of the play.
- Breakdown of the cast (how many in the cast, doubling, etc. )
- A SASE with sufficient postage should also be included if you wish for your play to be returned.
We encourage you to submit using double-sided printing to reduce the use of paper and your costs. All submissions should be sent to the Associate Artistic Director and Dramaturg, Stephen Colella, at:
165 Front Street East
Toronto, ON M5A 3Z4
