🎉This weekend we’re celebrating our GCYA students as they bring GIANTS IN THE SKY to life on stage!🤩

They’ve spent the semester exploring what it means to compromise in a production, how improvisation is a great way to exercise creativity, and have been putting their music theory skills to the test. All while showing up for each other every week in class and rehearsals. 💚💙

Send some applause in the comments for our GCYA students as they take their places on stage this weekend! 👏👏👏👏

Gallo Center Youth Academy presents
⛅️GIANTS IN THE SKY☁️

This magical story explores the world of Giants who live above the clouds. Ever since they left Earth a long time ago, the Giants have made a life up above where their job is to keep the sky beautiful. They polish the stars, poke the clouds to let it rain and paint the sunsets. But there is one curious Giant who wonders what life is like on Earth, so she steals a key to the locked up “beanstalk“ and embarks on an adventure down below!

Music & Lyrics by Denver Casado
Book and Lyrics by Kerry Kaxmierowicztrimm
GIANTS IN THE SKY is presented through special arrangement with Beat by Beat Press (www.bbbpress.com)

For the first time at the Gallo Center! Tickets on sale now at galloarts.org

In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she's desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home - with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf. For the first time in forever, experience the musical phenomenon that has taken the world by storm! Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, Disney's Frozen includes all the film's beloved songs with new music written exclusively for the stage.

Directed and Choreographed by Maggie Sniffen
Music Directed by Chelsea Foy

Since 2020, more and more professional companies and colleges are requiring self-tape submissions from students pursuing a musical theatre education. But what makes a self-tape different from an in-person audition? In this class students will be introduced to the do’s and don’ts, receive hands on experience on how to best set up your a shot, and have an opportunity to get feedback from Joseph on a monologue or sides.

YES Academy provides year-long musical theater education for current junior high and high school students through a Flexible Class Pass. Click the link in our bio to learn more about YES Academy and purchase a punch card to participate in Joseph’s workshop.
