Membership

Grosse Pointe Theatre members take pride in their productions and in the friendships they gain by working together for a common goal. We all strive to fulfill our mission to connect, create and inspire communities through theatre. We are all volunteers from many surrounding communities and we welcome new members!​

Our Member Benefits Include:

• Participate in Performances – All performers and backstage crew chiefs are required to be members of Grosse Pointe Theatre
• Ushering – Ushering performances is an exclusive benefit for Grosse Pointe Theatre members. This is your opportunity to see each show for FREE and to get involved and meet our patrons.
• Membership Meetings – Grosse Pointe Theatre members are invited to five membership meetings each year to keep up on everything that’s happening at GPT. These meetings are also a wonderful chance to meet and chat with other members.
• Voting – Members are able to vote in the annual election for officers and for Clarence Award winners once you have seen all shows each season.
• Workshops/Education – Workshops offer new directors, writers and performers, a voice and place to share their talents. Specific education classes are also offered throughout the year.
• Volunteer Roles – GPT depends on our members to help build sets, sew costumes, find props, design lights, coordinate make-up and hair, and much more! There are opportunities and jobs for all skill sets and levels from beginner to expert.
• Sock & Buskin – Our bi-weekly official newsletter is an electronic publication. Check out new information and stay up to date with what’s going on!
• Annual Dinner Dance – Members receive a reduced admission price to the annual dinner dance, held in the summer to celebrate the shows of the past season.
• Social Times – Beyond the spotlight of the stage, GPT is a “family” that offers a welcoming community. Special social events are available to all members and help us stay connected.

Grosse Pointe Theatre is governed by a member-elected Board of Directors, which meets monthly. Dues are $50.00 for the fiscal season: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025.  The value of FREE opportunities and subsidies is over $250!
