Drama School - Session 2 (Feb/March to June 2024)

Here comes the FUN! An amazing line-up of 23.24 Drama School classes is on sale now! New this year, we’re offering two 12-week sessions from September to June. Students will get creative, discover new and fun ways to express themselves, and perform on a YPT stage for family and friends in the session finales! See details below.

Saturday classes for Toddlers to Gr. 12 take place in brand new classrooms at YPT 161 Studios (161 Frederick Street) – just across the street from our theatre on Front Street East.
