Artistic Director’s Note Every season is magical but this season brings some really special productions that are close to my heart.

We begin our season with The Wizard of Oz which is my all-time favorite childhood classic. I was honored to play Dorothy as a senior in high school, and that experience left a lasting mark on my heart. I still have a full collection of Oz memorabilia. Beyond the nostalgia, it’s the story’s message that continues to resonate for me. No matter where life takes you, you can always find your people, your chosen family, and still stay connected to where you began. Also, GCPA is built around the pillars our four friends are seeking. We’re a community built on compassion, strength, and inquisitiveness, reminding each other that “there’s no place like home.”

From Oz’s timeless journey, we jump into the high-energy world of Grease. This one also holds a special place in my story as I’ve played Jan three times, the most memorable being where I met my husband and my core, life-long friend group. (Shout out to the Shawnees!) It’s a classic, and while some of its themes reflect a different era, at its core Grease is about young people figuring out who they are, how they fit in, and how to stay true to themselves in the process. That exploration is exactly what makes working with young artists so inspiring. They’re right in the middle of that same journey, discovering who they want to be both onstage and off.

Next up, we return to Frozen Kids and this one feels like a celebration. This is our firstever official repeat of a production. We first staged Frozen in 2021, just as we were finding our way back after COVID. It was a masked, limited performance, but it carried so much joy and healing at a time we needed it most. Bringing it back now for ages 6 11, along with Frozen Jr. for ages 11 - 16, gives us the chance to revisit that story of love, bravery, and sisterhood - this time, without barriers. For many of our students, Frozen is their “Oz,” and I can’t wait to see new performers find their voices in Arendelle with this registration-based production.

For our audition-based programs, we have a first! Our middle group will tackle a fulllength production of The Lightning Thief. This will be for ages 11–16 and gives this group a bigger stage and a bigger challenge. Very similar to Oz, The Lightning Thief follows a young person on an epic journey of self-realization along with loyal companions and a lot of magic. I’m excited to watch our young artists rise to the occasion.

And then there’s Rent. This one has been on our “dream show” list for years - and for good reason. It’s Executive Director Paul Pagano’s all-time favorite, and one that has shaped countless performers and theatre lovers alike. Rent is a rock musical that follows a group of young artists and friends in New York City as they navigate love, friendship, and the challenges of life and creativity while confronting the impact of the AIDS epidemic. Because of its mature themes, we extended the age range to 16–20, allowing older performers to take on material that pushes them artistically and emotionally.

Across every show this season, whether we’re skipping down the yellow brick road, dancing through Rydell High, or standing on the rooftops of New York, our performers are learning to take risks, tell stories, and find their people. As an artistic team, we’re constantly amazed by their growth, courage, and their ability to find joy in the work.

If you like what you see, please consider joining us on our mission to provide quality, challenging, and out-of-the-box theatre for St. Louis youth. See our shows, take our classes, spread the word, volunteer or donate. We’d love your GCPA story to begin today.

SOME PEOPLE ARE WORTH MELTING FOR!

WEARESOPROUD OFYOU, SALLY.

LOVE, MOM, DAD, GRANNA, ALICE AND CONRAD

Director’s Note Welcome to Frozen Jr! We are so glad you're here! When you think of Frozen Jr., what comes to mind might be magical ice powers, talking snowmen, and songs that have a particular way of getting stuck in your head (If you leave tonight singing “Let It Go,” I apologize in advance.) What comes to my mind when I think about this production, however, is the amazing group of young people who have come together to bring this story to life! Over the course of rehearsals, I have watched this cast grow, not only as performers but as leaders and friends. As a director, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing young actors discover what they are capable of accomplishing. I am so proud of this cast, not only for their talent, but for the wonderful people they are behind the scenes. Their dedication and hard work have made this production truly special! Our rehearsals have been filled with lots of laughs and silly moments in addition to all of the hard work.

I am honored to be returning to GCPA for a second summer as a director! Thank you all for giving me this opportunity! Working with GCPA is always a highlight of my summer. It has been a privilege and an honor to work alongside such talented young artists and adults and to be part of a program that truly aims to foster creativity, confidence, and community for all students. I am also deeply grateful to the families who made this experience possible. This show would not exist without your support. Thank you for sharing your children with us and for encouraging them to grow as both people and performers. To my creative team, I am so grateful for all the hours of work you have put in to make our production as great as it can be. It has been wonderful working with all of you to bring this show to life!

To our production team, volunteers, and everyone who worked behind the scenes, thank you for your time, energy, and commitment. You all make all of this possible.

At its heart, Frozen Jr. is a story about love, courage, and learning to embrace who we are. At risk of being cheesy, the show is about the power of love to overcome even the darkest of times. As I look at this cast, I see those themes reflected every single day in our rehearsals. Their hard work, kindness, professionalism, and enthusiasm have brought this story to life in ways that continue to both surprise and inspire me!

While I hope you enjoy the music, the talent, the lights, and the spectacle that is Frozen Jr., I also hope you are immersed in the adventure and all the magic Arendelle has to offer. Lastly, I hope you see the heart and hard work that these young performers have poured into every aspect of this production.

Thank you for joining us and supporting the arts! It is important to do so now more than ever! Please come back and see more of the wonderful shows that GCPA is putting on this summer and the rest of the season! I also want to say thank you to this remarkable cast. It has been an absolute honor to be your director! I could not be prouder of what you have accomplished, and I can’t wait for you to share your hard work with the audience!

Enjoy the show!

Alyssa Durbin
