We hope to get an accapella group going. This first meeting is to see who is interested and for the kids to have the opportunity to try it out. We will meet... in the OLD PCHS auditorium. Please enter through the Tiger Tots door on the south side of the building across from the bus cage. Our vocal coach will be Abby Kunkel. She is a classically trained vocalist and recent graduate of Indiana University. If you would like to attend, please private message Stacy Hurt on FB or email stacymhurt@gmail.com

Due to the weather, we are postponing Peter Pan Junior by 1 week. Thursday, February 13th - 6:30 pm Friday, February 14th - 6:30 pm Saturday, February 15th - 6:30 pm Sunday, February 16th - 2:00 pm If you purchased tickets online, they will gladly be accepted at any of the 4 rescheduled dates. It wouldn't be fair to throw the kids on stage with only one dress rehearsal. With the forecast, I decided to go ahead and make the decision early so people could plan accordingly. I apologize for any inconvenience. January 22, 2014 Tickets for Peter Pan Junior are now on sale! Tickets are available at the door: $7.00 adults / $5.00 youth / preschoolers free The benefit to purchasing your tickets online are that you don’t have to stand in line to purchase tickets at the door and you can use a credit card if you like. |

Get ready ladies - another Chicago trip is in the works! We will be seeing one of the best musicals ever - Wicked! It has it all - great story, sets, costumes, songs and special effects. As we usually do, we will take Amtrak out of Effingham, IL on Friday evening and return Sunday night. The price is usually around $300.00 per person and includes: boxed dinner on Friday, round-trip Amtrak tickets, 2 nights at The Palmer House Hilton in the Theatre District in downtown Chicago, dinner Saturday night and a ticket to the show. The price fluctuates a bit depending on how many people go and what kind of group rates I can get. There is plenty of time in the weekend for sightseeing and shopping - which should be AWESOME this trip because we will be there for the Macy's Christmas tree lighting which kicks off the holiday season in Chicago. This is a great weekend to bond with your mothers, daughters, aunts, cousins and girlfriends. Contact Stacy Hurt at stacymhurt@gmail.com if you are interested in joining us. It's going to be a blast!!!! The deadline to sign up is August 15th. |

This production is NOT a part of the Gibson County Youth Theatre season. It is an independent production presented by Stacy Hurt & Jill Wright. We are looking for adults to participate in this reading. THE STORY: In October 1998 a twenty-one-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. His bloody, bruised and battered body was not discovered until the next day, and he died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard. They conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town. Some people interviewed were directly connected to the case, and others were citizens of Laramie, and the breadth of their reactions to the crime is fascinating. Kaufman and Tectonic Theater members have constructed a deeply moving theatrical experience from these interviews and their own experiences. THE LARAMIE PROJECT is a breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable. |

Gibson County Youth Theatre is gearing up for a very exciting 2013-2014 Season. Since our main event of the year is our high school summer musical, we have decided to change our fiscal year from the calendar year to July-June. This way, we can begin working toward our next season's finale a year in advance. We have a lot of new and exciting things planned for GCYT this year. We will be hosting a Theatre Fest during the 3rd week of October with lots of different activities geared to people of all ages in an attempt to introduce the performing arts to as many new people as possible. In February, we will have our junior high musical Seussical Junior, followed by our GCYT Variety Show in May. We will close season 8 in June 2014 with Barry Manilow's sassy, high-energy musical Copacabana! |

Hairspray marked the end of GCYT's 7th Season. In addition to our usual high school summer musical, the youth offered their set, costumes, choreography and stage to some of Gibson County's daring adults who performed the show with only one week of rehearsal! Granted, it was billed as a "comedy of errors" and it truly was a hilarious farce that was enjoyed by two nice sized crowds, but it was a wonderful success! The goals of this whirlwind project were to: raise money for the youth program, give local adults a chance to put on a fun show with very minimal rehearsal and give our community a good laugh. All of that was accomplished, so we hope to do it again next year with the musical Copacabana! Get ready to Cha Cha! Ay Caramba! |
