Youth Scholarship for Summer Theatre Intensive

We invite youth across the province to apply for a scholarship to the 2017 Summer Theatre Intensive in Stratford.
Our Board of Directors has announced a matching campaign aimed at sending one youth artist in Ontario to train at one of our Summer Courses FREE OF CHARGE. We will be providing the course, meals, accommodations and a travel stipend for one lucky participant between the ages of 16-26.

Stories from the Professional Theatre Training Program
|
|
Our Professional Theatre Training Program (PTTP) offers financial support for unique and flexible training with a chosen mentor in any theatrical discipline (except performance.)
Last month we featured five stories on our blog.
The next application deadline for the Professional Theatre Training Program is October 2, 2017.

PTTP and YTTP are funded by the Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario.

The Youth Advisory Committee presents Emergence
|
|
On Sunday, September 24, 2017 Theatre Ontario’s Youth Advisory Committee is taking over the Elgin Winter Garden Theatre Centre for Emergence. Join us for a day of learning where you can meet mentors and develop your own plan to pursue a career in theatre.
Emergence is by youth, for youth. We’re bringing together young theatre makers, performers and storytellers from the province to share what they see as the future of theatre in Ontario.
