SPRING THEATRE SCHOOL

We are extremely excited about our spring curriculum: classes are organized by content, and not 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 is to enhance communication skills and develop self-confidence, imagination, and creativity, as well as to educate the student on a general knowledge of the theatre. We also aim to have a load of fun! Won't you join us?

Spring classes run January 12 through April 29, 2010. Final dress for Tuesday/Thursday classes will be Friday, April 30, from 6:00 to 8:00pm, with final performances on May 1. Final dress for Saturday classes will be Friday, May 7, from 5:30 to 7:00pm, with final performances on May 8. Please be sure that students are available for these dates.

All classes are held in Gamut Classic Theatre, located in Strawberry Square, Harrisburg, PA. Parking is available on the street and in the Walnut Street Parking Garage.

School instructors are the professional actors and core company of Gamut Theatre Group.

Sign up online, or download a registration form and mail it in with your non-refundable deposit (first month's payment) or full tuition payment. (There will be a $20 fee for any returned checks.)
