165 Front Street East
Located in a beautifully restored heritage building in the heart of downtown Toronto, YPT has two primary production spaces: the Ada Slaight Stage (433 seats) and the Studio Theatre (115 seats). In addition to our stages, the historic features of the theatre – including unique stairwells, corners and quiet nooks – make it the perfect theatrical playground for experiential, site-specific productions.

Please Note:
Thanks to the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and their Resilient Communities Fund, YPT now uses state of the art air filtration equipment throughout our theatres, lobbies, studios and office spaces. New studies have shown that COVID-19 can be spread by a building’s air ventilation system. Therefore, YPT is pleased to assure its patrons that our HVAC systems have been fully upgraded to help prevent this possibility. Air filtration occurring immediately in the spaces where people are congregating helps to ensure YPT’s spaces are safer and everyone can breathe a little easier.
YPT’s equipment includes three stages of air filtration technology: HEPA filters that capture particles in the air both large and microscopic (such as allergens or mold), carbon filters to help trap or eliminate chemical compounds (such as paint fumes, smoke and other pollutants), as well as a UV-C lamp that kills or inactivates airborne bacteria and viruses (like COVID-19).
This facility is supported through Toronto Arts Council Strategic Funding.
