Music Theatre for Young People is a non-profit corporation, operating in the metropolitan Kansas City area. The goal of MTYP has always been to encourage the appreciation of music theatre among young people by providing a variety of performance opportunities in non-professional public theatre. The end result is the performance, by young people, of some of Broadways greatest hit musicals. MTYP was originally founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1984 by Ms. Cary Danielson, and that program still remains an active and vibrant component of the Wichita arts scene. In 1992 Ms. Danielson moved to the Kansas City area and founded Music Theatre for Young People of Kansas City. Music Theatre for Young People does not own its own theatre or rehearsal space, but mounts its productions at several different venues in the Kansas City area.
