The Youth Theatre Festival Committee of Yukon Theatre for Young People (YTYP) proposes to hold a 3-day Yukon Youth Theatre Festival at the Yukon Arts Centre in early 2025. Youth Festival Committee of YTYP believes firmly in the transformative power of theatre and arts-engagement and have experienced first-hand the positive outcomes to their own mental health when they were able to participate in theatre activities during their own high school experience. The goal of this project is to provide those young people with an opportunity to experience the benefit of the performing arts, and the positive impacts they have on health and well-being.
