Downtown montreal classes
Children and teens explore how to create fascinating characters, build exciting stories, and present them to an encouraging audience of family, friends, and community supporters.
Each year GTS offers two sessions with classes being offered on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Registration for the Fall Session begins in August, with classes running from mid-September to mid-December, ending with an in-class final presentation. Registration for the Winter begins in November with classes running from February to May, ending in a final performance at a local theatre.
Registration is OPEN for the WINTER 2025 Session!
Join us for 12 weeks of theatre where kids and teens create fascinating characters, build exciting stories, and play all their favourite theatre games!
The session runs January 26th to May 4th, 2025 culminating in our ever-popular GTS Cabaret where students will perform their original creations on stage in front of family and friends.
All classes are at the Greene Centre (1090 Ave Greene, Westmount, Quebec H3Z 1Z9), which is easily accessible by car or public transit.

The Teen Ensemble is a unique opportunity for teens who are interested in potentially pursuing acting and who want to grow as performers. The full-year program will bridge the gap between skill-building and professional development, providing teens with a more hands-on experience in theatre performance.
The program will include movement & vocal techniques, script & character analysis, audition techniques, regular guest artist teachers/speakers, and an outing to Montreal theatre.
The program will culminate in a final performance in front of family, friends, invited community members, and agents.
A maximum of 10 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.
