Located in the heart of Toronto's Distillery Historic District, the Young Centre is the first theatre facility of its kind in Canada. Not only will it provide students with exceptional training facilities; it will also be the permanent home of the nationally renowned Soulpepper Theatre Company, our partner in this outstanding joint venture.


The Young Centre will allow the George Brown Theatre School faculty to expand its programs and offer its students an unparalleled theatrical experience through access to exceptional, professional facilities. The Young Centre will truly strengthen the George Brown Theatre School's enviable reputation as a superior training program on the national and international stage, and be another glistening jewel in Toronto's crown.

The award winning Young Centre for the Performing Arts, designed by one of Canada's leading architectural firms, Kuwabara, Payne, McKenna and Blumberg, includes:

  • three flexible, state-of-the-art theatres
    each with seating capacities of 325, 225 and 100
  • five large rehearsal/teaching studios
  • four classrooms/ tutorial spaces
  • a complete costume shop
  • teaching and administrative offices

    Plus
  • a student lounge
  • a public lobby with a café
  • an outdoor artist's exhibition garden

This world-class facility does much more than elevate our actor training program to the next level. It gives the students of the George Brown Theatre School an unparalleled creative and educational opportunity, unique in North America.

Finally, the George Brown Theatre School is in a space commensurate with its outstanding reputation.
