Updates from Grosse Pointe Theatre
It’s almost that wonderful time of year when our Youth On Stage classes go live! 🎉
On Monday, August 31st our YOS classes open up on the website, including one of our fan favorites - the Tech Theatre Class! This is for ages 10-14, and teaches the fundamentals of working behind-the-scenes. Students in this class will have the opportunity to work tech on the next YOS show: Disney’s The Descendants.
Other classes will be opening up as well, including musical theatre, improv, and creative dramatics.

Today, the world feels a little less bright.
Dolly Parton brought light wherever she went. Through her music, her humor, her generosity, and her unmistakable spirit, she reminded us of the power of kindness, joy, and a little bit of sparkle.
A few years ago, GPT had the privilege of bringing 9 to 5: The Musical to our stage, sharing in a small piece of the funny, bold, hopeful world Dolly created.
Her impact reached far beyond the stage. Her life was a light in a sometimes dark world, and we are grateful it shone so brightly for so long.
Thank you for the music, the laughter, and the love, Dolly.
We will always love you. ❤️
