GCPA is at Marquette High School today for a summer expo! Stop by and say hi, and check out all the awesome offerings for upcoming summer camps in St. Louis! Can’t stop by? Just a click on our bio link takes you to our website with all the details you need to register! Join us either way!

Registration is open for our final Class Sampler Session of the 2018-2019 year! Students ages 5-13 can take these mini-sessions in Musical Theatre Performance and Group Voice. Samplers are a great option for those with busy schedules or just wanting to try out a class without a full semester commitment. These samplers run March 14-May 4th. Check out all the details on our website! Link in bio.

We’re glad you’re as excited about our summer shows as we are! Due to high demand, we are expanding audition dates to accommodate more actors, now with some appointments available Sunday, March 10. We ask all actors to prioritize the original auditions on March 2nd and 3rd. Once we are no longer able to accommodate audition requests for the original dates, we will schedule for March 10. Email artistic@gcpastl.org for scheduling. Full details for The Addams Family young@part and Spring Awakening online!

Spring Awakening auditions are also happening March 3rd & 4th, with added appointments for more opportunities! This show is open to actors exiting Grades 9th-12th as well as GCPA alumni ages 18-20. We are excited to open a production for the first time to our alumni as a special part of our fifth anniversary season. We look forward to the opportunity to have productive and inspiring conversations with our actors and our community through this poignant production.

Auditions are one month away for Addams Family young@part, and we are adding appointments to accommodate all interested actors. Auditions are March 2nd & 3rd, and appointments are available by emailing artistic@gcpastl.org. This particular production is a special hybrid of our artistic and education programming, with instruction for singing, dancing, and acting technique built into rehearsal toward a fully staged production at the end of three weeks. Open to actors exiting Grades 5-9, rehearsing June 10-28, and performing June 28-30.

Titanic photo shoot is a wrap! Look for promos soon... Tickets go on sale February 18th! #gcpatitanic
