10 years... 83 productions... hundreds of performances... thousands of classes...
This year, as we celebrate our tenth year, we look back on how PGT has grown, thanks to the vision, hard work and talents of an incredible staff, an amazing volunteer community, a growing alumni organization and, of course, our wonderful young actors.
And, as we celebrate our tenth year, we look ahead... to the next ten years! And to all the ways, both new and old, that we will be able to bring the wonder of theatre into the lives of children and teenagers.
This year will be filled with opportunities to celebrate the first 10 years of PGT’s history... especially at our 10 Year Anniversary Gala on January 8, 2005. We hope you will find time in the coming months to share with us your favorite PGT memories, and to help us plan for an exciting anniversary celebration!
Whether this is your first year or your tenth year with PGT... whether you join us for classes or a production... whether you are back stage or on stage –or even in the audience, we are looking forward to sharing the PGT magic with you!
Steven and Jill Abusch
