Since its inception, LKTYP has won critical acclaim, including 32 Dora Mavor Moore Awards and 13 Chalmers Children's Awards for directing, acting, playwriting, and outstanding productions.
The Dora Mavor Moore Awards honour the creators of over 200 theatre and dance productions annually in five major categories:
General Theatre, Independent Theatre, Dance, Opera, Theatre for Young Audiences.
Each winner receives a bronze statue cast from an original by sculptor John Romano. The Doras are named for Dora Mavor Moore, a well-loved teacher and director who helped establish Canadian professional theatre in the 1930s and 1940s.
