The program will include movement & vocal techniques, script & character analysis, audition techniques, regular guest artist teachers/speakers, and an outing to Montreal theatre.
The program will culminate in a final performance in front of family, friends, invited community members, and agents.
A maximum of 8 teens will be accepted into the Teen Ensemble. Acceptance is limited to those teens who have done a teen class before, who have proven their commitment, and is subject to approval by the teacher and the GTS Creative Director.
Please email the GTS Creative Director, Jessica Abdallah, to express interest in the program.
After School Classes
What could be better than exploring all the fun theatre has to offer? Doing so in the comfort of your own school! With GTS After School, students explore how to create fascinating characters, build exciting stories, and then present them to an encouraging audience of family, friends, and community supporters.
