Peter Daniels, a teacher, founded the Milwaukee Youth Theatre (MYT) in 1991. The company started in a small storefront in Bay View next to the Avalon Theater.

In 1996 Mr. Daniels moved and Therese Burazin became Artistic Director. Therese was Executive Director until December, 2021. In January, 2022 Harmonie Baker became Executive Director. For the past 20 years, MYT has been artist-in-residence at MPS Lincoln Center of the Arts.
