Founded by Peter Daniels in 1991, MYT began in a small storefront theatre in the Bayview neighborhood of Milwaukee.
Performances were held both in the storefront space and next door at the historic Avalon movie theatre.
Daniels relocated from the city in 1997, and MYT was turned over to Therese Burazin.
Each year MYT produces three to four public theatrical productions, accompanying tours to Milwaukee-area schools, and a variety of workshops.
MYT uses no adult actors and involves students ages 8-18 at no cost regardless of previous theatre experience.
