Broadway gypsies bare their souls and put their lives "on the line" as they audition for an unnamed Broadway musical. The 1975 show won the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Musical.
There also will be a change in performance days next season. Attendance at Wednesday night performances has been low the past few years, so the GCP is replacing that time slot with Saturday matinees to make it more convenient for patrons to attend.
If you want to learn more about the upcoming season, how to audition and what volunteer opportunities are available, don’t miss our first-ever Director’s Showcase this Saturday, June 8 at 6 p.m.! More event details can be found on our Facebook event page. See you there!
