Manitoba Theatre for Young People is a theatre for children and young adults in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It was originally founded in 1965 as Actors' Showcase and incorporated in 1977. In 1982, it became a professional theatre devoted to young people. For many years, the theatre operated out of the Gas Station Theatre in the Osborne Village area of the city but in 1999 the theatre moved to The Forks to its new location in the CanWest Global Performing Arts Centre, a 28,000 square feet facility for MTYP and its school. MTYP presents a full season of theatre for young audiences via both public and school shows, as well as 2 productions per year that tour both the city of Winnipeg, and the province of Manitoba.

The Company celebrated its 25th Anniversary in October 2006, and has been run by artistic director Leslee Silverman since its inception.
