By the end of the 2012-13 season, PTE had presented 316 plays on its unique thrust stage over its 40 year history, 141 of which were world premieres, to an annual average attendance of 35,000 people. Approximately 700 students enroll annually in onsite acting classes, from adults to children as young as five. Classes range from acting for stage, film and TV to Improv to Theatre Production to Musical Theatre, Voice, Movement and others. Every year, the Prairie Theatre Exchange's Theatre for Young Audiences touring program brings the live theatre experience to over 17,000 Manitobans by performing in elementary and junior high schools, as well as for community audiences throughout the province.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pte.mb.ca/about/about_pte.htm )〕 Educational partners of the PTE include the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg School Division, and other school divisions, alternative learning centres, and community arts groups across the province of Manitoba. True to its mandate "to foster theatre arts-related endeavours of others through use of our facilities and expertise", PTE is host to a wide variety of facility rentals to local schools, businesses, and community organizations for everything from concerts and recitals to annual general meetings, for a nominal rental rate that includes both a technician and House Manager.

Colin Jackson was director of MTW from 1973 to 1976.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://umanitoba.ca/libraries/units/archives/collections/rad/pte.html )〕 Originally the Manitoba Theatre Workshop was oriented toward a younger audience, but in 1975, the first adult productions 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prairie Theatre Exchange」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
