YOUNG PEOPLE’S THEATRE (YPT) is the oldest continuously operating theatre company in Toronto and is a national producer and presenter of theatre for young audiences. Over the past 49 years many of the important pieces that form the canon of plays for young audiences in Canada have appeared on our stages. We continue to develop new work and create partnerships with theatre companies across the country and around the world. Learning is at the centre of everything we do. When young people come to our theatre, we hope that they will be entertained – but not just by a pleasant, fleeting distraction. We want them to be imprinted with so powerful an experience that it expands their capacity to learn. When young people are immersed in the imaginary world of a play, the experience isn’t less important to them because it isn’t real. Children make imagined experience real experience. Through the professional theatrical work produced on our stages, and through the enriched learning experiences we offer with our Education & Participation programs, YPT provides young people with ways to develop their whole being. This is central to YPT’s artistic policy. We want to have a positive and lasting impact on the emotional, social, and intellectual development of young people – in order for them to grow into the unique and wonderful people they were born to be.

One of the joys of parenthood is being introduced to amazing books at every stage of your child’s growth. I remember trotting off to the library, every week or so with the kids, coming back with a new stack of books to dive into. Amongst these, Emily’s Piano stood out for its gritty depiction of family breakdown, blended with a fable-like quest told from the point of view of a young girl. Our kids really responded to this book partly, I think, because author, Charlotte Gingras, addresses topics which are not often discussed with younger kids. But also, because she does so by creating a vivid portrait of a young person grappling with a range of feelings we experience as we move through crisis situations: fear, anger, loneliness, love, determination, and strength, infusing her story with healthy doses of humour and the fantastic along the way.

During the process of turning Emily’s Piano into a play, I have tried to be truthful to the book, while seeking to translate its rich inner life into theatrical language. Throughout the exercises, improvisations, discussions, debates, and decisions that have been part of the creation of this piece, I have been fortunate to be in the same room with a dedicated creative team who has embraced the telling of this story with equal parts, empathy, imagination and artistic flair. Heartfelt thanks to Charlotte for her wonderful book, to Suzanne for suggesting turning it into a play, and to all involved for their invaluable contributions!

This gift will allow YPT to extend access to our shows and to increase the number of Drama School bursaries for young people who might not have the means to attend or participate. It will also provide the opportunity for YPT to expand its participatory theatre programs in the community, its training programs, and its professional theatre apprenticeships.

• More Classroom Space at YPT!YPT is moving its administration offices in May, creating more space for these exciting initiatives.

• We will be running workshops for the Toronto Public Library in connection with the TD Summer Reading Series in July and August.

• The Member Schools Playwriting Festival, involving students from St. Sylvester and St. Henry will culminate in a presentation on May 27th.
