Artistic Director
Denise Oucharek is currently the artistic director for MYT. From its inception in 1990, Denise has provided much of the vision for the direction and character of MYT. Her unique talents and expertise working with young people has brought MYT a great deal of success in all their endeavors. As a professional artist, Denise has appeared in over 100 productions including a two year run in "Mamma Mia" at the Royal Alexander Theater in Toronto. Other performances include "Joseph", "My Fair Lady", "Fiddler on the Roof", "HMS Pinafore" and many other shows in theatres in Halifax, Kingston, Toronto, Calgary and other Canadian cities. Her wealth of experience in the theatre industry and teaching provides an excellent basis for her work with MYT. Denise also directs many productions for MYT and works with all new, young directors. Denise received her Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Education from Queen's University.
Guest Artists
The highlight of our summer camps and workshops is the participation of professional guest artists. These artists often lead a workshop in one area of either music, drama, dance or design.
Previous guest artists have included performers from productions such as "Mamma Mia", "Anne of Green Gables", "Les Miserables", "Phantom of the Opera", "Showboat", "Ragtime", "West Side Story" and "Joseph" along with artists in film, television/commercials (including voice over professionals) and Second City.
