GTA provides our students with a wide variety of challenging courses in our craft. Theatre majors from both institutions take classes together, on both campuses, as well as work together on all production projects. 

Classes are taught by both our resident faculty and by our exciting roster of Professional Guest Artists. At GTA, we believe that the strongest theatre artist is one who has a working knowledge of ALL aspects of production and theory. For that reason, actors are expected to serve their turns on running crews, and to be proficient in stagecraft. Technicians are required to take Acting I, and all theatre majors are encouraged to select electives from history, literature, music and art.
