Administrative History

The Australian Theatre for Young People was formed in 1963 as a non-profit organisation to create opportunities for young people to participate in the performing arts. ATYP organises workshops, productions, regional residences and national projects for young people. Many productions tour nationally and internationally and involve leading directors, designers and writers. The company is financed through private and corporate donations and the New South Wales Government.
