Young Centre for the Performing Arts

The Young Centre for the Performing Arts (YCPA) was the unique vision of George Brown College and Soulpepper Theatre Company to be a hub for Toronto's arts community and a destination for all theatre lovers.

Located in Toronto's 19th century Gooderham & Worts Distillery District, this former industrial site was redeveloped into an arts precinct and tourist destination through the adaptive re-use of its Victorian buildings into shops, restaurants and entertainment venues.

The Young Centre consists of three distinct theatre spaces within three historic Tank Houses.

The largest theatre is a 400-seat flexible courtyard space and Toronto's only thrust stage.

It allows for traditional end stage, arena stage, traverse and flat floor configurations.A 220-seat flexible format theatre, a 90-seat space and a 125-seat Tankhouse theatre complete the collection of theatres, which has fibre optic capability for broadcast signaling.
