A maximum of 8 teens will be accepted into the Teen Ensemble. Acceptance is limited to those teens who have done a teen class before, who have proven their commitment, and is subject to approval by the teacher and the GTS Creative Director.
Please email the GTS Creative Director, Jessica Abdallah, to express interest in the program.
