Our Mission

Vancouver Youth Theatre is a non-profit society dedicated to the inspiration and education of young actors aged 5-18. VYT provides a voice for youth and allows them to explore topics relevant to their lives through Playbuilding programs in collaboration with professional directors. Vancouver Youth Theatre aims to increase public awareness of issues facing young people through acting programs, school outreach programs, workshops, tours, and public performances.

About VANCOUVER YOUTH THEATRE SOCIETY

Vancouver Youth Theatre is theatre for, by, and about young people. We provide an environment where young people are free to express their ideas without risk of censorship. Our productions foster a positive attitude towards the diversity of all people, promoting equality of gender and race. At VYT, young people learn about acting as they build their confidence and self esteem. Through collaborative projects, we encourage the development of important life skills such as team-work, decision making, leadership, critical thinking, and taking direction. VYT supports and values peer based teaching practices in its school outreach programs to promote positive attitudes and behaviors in youth culture.
