FALL THEATRE SCHOOL

We have classes for children and teens!

Greetings everyone!
We here at Gamut Theatre are extremely excited about our curriculum for young actors. Classes are organized by content, and by age. This means that no matter how old you are, or how much experience you have in the theatre, we have a class for you!

Our goal in the school is to enhance communication skills and develop self-confidence, imagination, and creativity, as well as educate the student on a general knowledge of the theatre. We also aim to have a load of fun! Won't you join us?

All theatre school classes are held in our theatre space - the Gamut Classic Theatre, located in Strawberry Square, Harrisburg, PA. School instructors are the professional actors and core company of PHP.
