At GTSA you will be working with students like you, who share a love of theatre and
want to enhance their skills to become better actors and theatre practitioners. 

Gamut Theatre has a commitment to keeping our students and staff safe and healthy. Please take a look at our current Health & Safety Protocols for In-Person Education. 

Why Join GTSA?

  • Our Faculty is phenomenal. In addition to being excellent teachers, all of our teaching staff work professionally in their field and enrich the learning experience by being successful working artists, an excellent resource for our students.

  • You will work within small groups of like-minded students on supervised projects and activities, interacting in a professional manner and having additional opportunities to socialize.

  • Opportunity to Act! You will be able to do scene work with other students and create unique and collaborative theatre performances.

  • Make new friends and reconnect with old ones. We know that these past two years have been strange for everyone. Here’s your chance to meet people from other schools while working on common goals.

What’s a typical day at the GTSA?

The student body is broken up into separate classes that are organized by age.  Each class has a max of 15 students in it.  You are with your class for Acting, Voice, Movement, Improv, Words and Design. The whole student body comes together at the end of the day to work on the end of the week’s “informance” for family and friends.

Check-in begins each day at 7:30AM - Pick up ends each day at 5:30PM
