- 1974-1985
Subseries consists of a chronologically arranged record of youth tour program activities, which each year involved separate productions for primary and secondary level schools throughout British Columbia, and sometimes northern Washington State. By the late 1970s BTC had developed the largest youth touring theatre operation in Canada, which adds significance to this subseries collection. Itineraries exist for most years, as well as administrative correspondence.teacher/student kits, school booking contracts,
contractual correspondence, Equity agreements and show programs. BTC inaugurated annual Youth Tours in 1963 with 19 performances, however, records prior to 1974 are missing, and many doubtless exist in Peter Mannering's personal papers. The annual Youth Tour was a major function of BTC, with 175 performances given to approximately 50,000 students in 1974/75. Feedback questionnaires and a selection of student review correspondence have been retained in the subseries. Also, scripts and prompt scripts exist for several of the plays produced.
