Did you know that 165 Front Street East wasn’t always a theatre?
In the 19th century, this building was used as a stable for the Toronto Street Railway Company’s streetcar horses. Before becoming the theatre it is today, it was also an electrical generating plant and a warehouse.
Learn more about our theatre’s dynamic history on Sunday, September 30th when, in celebration of Culture Days , we invite you to visit YPT and take part in a guided tour of our historic building.
On this special tour, in connection with our season theme of ‘I hope, I wish, I dream’, you will have the chance to step onto our Mainstage and express your hope, dream or wish for the future. These wishes will be captured on camera and some will be posted online. Be sure to reserve your spot on one of our tours by calling 416.862.2222.
We hope to see you there!
