We have an exciting UPDATE to our 2026 Theatrical Season at GCT! Although we originally planned to produce "Something Rotten" this summer, a professional company gained the rights, so we switched gears. We are a bit bummed to not perform "Something Rotten," but we are ecstatic that the rights for "Finding Neverland" became available at the same time we received that news.This summer, we will be producing "Finding Neverland" from June 19th through June 28th. Fly to Neverland with us to enjoy this delightful, funny, heartwarming musical that teaches us all how to stay young and to PLAY!

Barrie helps him to learn to play again and becomes inspired to create a new art form: children's theatre. But who will pay to see a play about children? Who will play these characters? And how will they make Peter Pan fly?
