Lighting The Stage at Young People's Theatre with an upgraded lighting system, Toronto’s oldest professional theatre company is ready for the future

Young People’s Threatre (YPT) is the oldest professional theatre company in Toronto, and until recently, some of its lighting equipment was likely some of the oldest in the city as well. The theatre space has gone through some massive transformations this past year, with an upgraded sound system as well, to push the company forward into these much more futuristic times. 57 years in, the Young People’s Theatre is ready for the future and decked out with new upgrades. We caught up with former YPT Project Manager Josh Hind and Head of Lighting Ash Ovington to get the lowdown on what the new lighting system consists of, and why it was time for an upgrade.
