Milwaukee Youth Theatre

Milwaukee Youth Theatre

The Milwaukee Youth Theatre (MYT) is a theatre company for youth based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Founded by Peter Daniels in 1991, MYT began in a small storefront theatre in the Bayview neighborhood of Milwaukee. MYT became incorporated and attained non-profit in 1992. Performances were held both in the storefront space and next door at the historic Avalon movie theatre. Daniels relocated from the city in 1997, and MYT is now run by Therese Burazin. The Milwaukee Youth Theatre has since moved to the Eastside of Milwaukee to become a part of the nationally recognized Resident Artist Program at Lincoln Center for the Arts, an arts-focused middle school in the Milwaukee Public School system.

Each year MYT produces at least three theatrical productions and holds a variety of camps, classes and workshops. Milwaukee Youth Theatre provides many kids' their first chance to perform onstage and involves kids in all aspects of the performances, including playwriting, lighting, sound, and stage management.
