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 Performing Arts Centre, a 28,000 square feet (2,600 m2) 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.

Manitoba Theatre for Young People is one of only two TYA (Theatre for Young Audience) institutions in Canada with a permanent residence and is the only Theatre for Young Audiences that offers a full season of plays for teens.

MTYP theatre school provides training for absolute beginners through to pre-professionals, including annual productions performed by teen students in its Young Company and Shakespeare Company, along with various extracurricular performances. The theatre's Drama Resource program presents performance workshops at the theatre and in schools province wide.

MTYP's Aboriginal Arts Program provides a full program of free theatrical training to young Aboriginal students and is the largest program of its kind in North America. It is run by Columpa Bobb and Anne Barager and runs as an independent division of MTYP.

MTYP won a 2006/2007 Dora award for its production of Comet in Moominland.

Famous former students of MTYP's theatre school include Adam Beach and Nia Vardalos.
