CREATING CHARACTER ONE STAGE AT A TIME
Wonder if your child might be bit by the acting bug? Want to give them the extra bit of confidence they need to shine? Students involved in the arts tend to have higher academic performance and better test scores. Public speaking skills, ability to work with a team to achieve a goal, self discipline and learning to accept feedback are just some of the benefits for your child!

They also greet and seat our patrons on show nights at GCT, perform for community events, as well as mentor the Jr Players.
