Classes at GCT
GCT offers two courses in the spring and the fall of theatrical programming to our area students. These courses last between 8 -12 weeks and allow students to further their fine arts education during elementary to high school years. Each spring there is a class finishing with our annual Books on Stage performance. In the fall the Fairy Tale Trail class performs at Farm Park as part of Halloween Boo-Looza.
Always be the first to know about upcoming classes, camps, and auditions AND get early bird registration to all of our educational programming!
