Carousel Theatre for Young People (CTYP) has produced 150 plays over 38 seasons. In its early years the company performed at several venues in Vancouver including the Arts Club Seymour Street and the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. CTYP has been based on Granville Island since 1981, where we operate a small arts complex that includes administrative offices, rehearsal halls and a costume shop. The company’s dedication to artistic excellence has resulted in critical acclaim and twelve Jessie Awards in the Theatre for Young Audiences category, with 53 nominations in the past five seasons. Each season approximately 40 000 young people and their families benefit from CTYP’s diverse programming and activities, which include a Mainstage season of Literary Classics, a summer Teen Shakespeare Program, and a year-round Theatre School for young people aged 3 to 17 years.
