P.E.T.S. After-School Classes
What could be better than exploring
all the fun theatre has to offer?
Doing so in the comfort of your own school! With GTS After-School Classes, students explore how to create fascinating characters, build exciting stories, and then present them to an encouraging audience of family, friends, and community supporters.
We are excited to return to P.E.T.S. with both Fall 2026 and Winter 2027 sessions, offering theatre games and exercises that explore characters, storytelling, and working as a team! Each session involved the creation of a final group performance that came from the imaginations of the students and was presented to family and friends.
Financial Assistance
