The company is excited about creating opportunities to educate a new generation of Actor-Musicians,  by providing structured educational and training activities to budding Actor-Musos of all ages and abilities.


We have and will continue to offer Actor-Musicianship workshops for those at any stage of development; beginner, intermediate and advanced.


We’ve joined the online phenomenon and have gotten creative with our Jam With GTP videos, featuring artists in short teaching sessions from home, encouraging people to learn a new skill or just to keep their talent sharp during the pandemic. 

 "Fusion" - GTP's Actor-Musician Scene Study Adventure

Facilitated by Donna Garner and Simon Henderson

This class will explore the art of Actor-Musicianship, and its relationship to text in plays, musicals, and other written performance works. 

Participants can expect:

  • scene work and text study in pairs or groups, with or without underscoring

  • improvisation on your instruments

  • sight reading of existing musical scores

  • non-traditional casting of scenes for an equitable and inclusive ensemble

  • an open minded approach to the work, and a joyous exploration of the possibilities for Actor-Musicianship fusion. 

Class will be held weekly for 6 weeks from Monday April 20th through June 1, from 7:00 to 10:00PM. 

There will be no class on the holiday Monday, May 18th.
