Lorraine Kimsa Theatre For Young People Educational Services

In the fall of 1966, renowned Toronto Star theatre critic Nathan Cohen reported, 'Susan Douglas Rubes has formed a new venture, Young Peoples Theatre (YPT). Her first production, aimed at the 3-to-7 set, is The Looking Glass Revue to be presented weekends at the Colonnade Theatre'. Other YPT productions soon followed, including school tours of plays by Ionesco and Chekhov, weekday school performances and classroom visits by performers.
