Montreal St-Henri 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 and Sundays. Registration for the Fall Session begins mid-August, with classes running from mid-September to mid-December, ending with an in-class final presentation. Registration for the Winter Session begins in November with classes running from February to May, ending in a final performance at a local theatre.
WINTER SESSION 2026
Our Winter Session of weekly classes runs for 12 weeks from January 25th until April 30th. This session culminates in our popular GTS Cabaret where family and friends will enjoy short performances created from the imaginations of the students in each class. The GTS Cabaret will be on the weekend of May 2nd & 3rd.
Join us for 12 exciting weeks of theatre where kids and teens create fascinating characters, build exciting stories, and play all their favourite theatre games!
All classes will take place at the Geordie PlayLab in St-Henri (4700 Rue Dagenais, Montréal, QC H4C 1L7), which is easily accessible by car or public transit.
