On Tuesday, July 17, one of the newest Dalton Academy Warblers, Grant Gustin, brings a piece of his "Glee" character to "The Glee Project" classroom for "Theatricality" week. Gustin was discovered by casting director and on-air mentor of "The Glee Project," Robert Ulrich, while he was performing in the first national tour of the Broadway revival of "West Side Story." With a strong musical theater background, Gustin gives sound insight into his personal experiences and inspires the remaining contenders to play up their theatrical sides during the main challenge.

Then, on Tuesday, August 7, Dianna Agron talks about her "Glee" character for the newly created theme "Actability."
