“This year for our Summer Camps, GCT is thrilled to have three instructors that were each students here at GCT many years ago”, says GCT Founding Executive/Artistic Director, Chad-Alan Carr. “It is a joy as an educator to see former students follow their passion, whether it be theatre or not. I am honored to work with them now as colleagues with the next generation.”
