Student Productions
Why are student productions important?
GCT includes two mainstage shows as a part of its theatrical season that are cast with our students. Students take center stage and perform for our Patrons and Creative Partners. GCT believes the theatrical experience builds character and self-confidence in our students. There is no fee to be in these productions and the artists cast do not have any responsibility to sell playbill ads. The theatre is proud to offer our students the chance to take the community stage for the first time.
NO AUDITION STUDENT PRODUCTIONS
GCT produces two other student productions each season that require NO audition to participate in, making it a perfect low-stress way for students to try out theatre. In the fall, GCT performs at the Germantown Harvest Moon Fall Festival as a part of our annual Scary Tale Trail. The show consists of short fun but spooky scenes and stories and has a very light rehearsal schedule. In the spring, GCT has an offering called Books On Stage, in which our students perform works based on literature. This show is also a student designed production, giving young artists a chance to bring their work to life onstage. The past two springs GCT has collaborated with the theatre space at The KROC Center of Memphis so our Books On Stage team can experience bringing their show to a second performance space!
