The Grand Theatre High School Project has been impacting and inspiring young talent, on and off stage for 27 years... all at no cost to participants.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO CONTINUE TO PROFOUNDLY IMPACT AND CHANGE STUDENTS’ LIVES
As applications open for the 2025 Grand Theatre High School Project, Disney’s Newsies—a compelling tale where youth find their collective voice and strength, and work together to fight injustice—please consider helping local youth embark on their journey into the world of theatre, here at the Grand.
With your support, the Grand Theatre High School Project will continue to:
- Inspire youth. Students thrive and build practical and transferable skills, talents and confidence through collaboration and creativity in a professional environment
- Give 50+ students the unique experience of creating a full production on the Grand’s beautiful and historic Spriet Stage
- Impact the lives of youth, well beyond the stage. Youth will become positive role models in their communities, develop leadership and communication skills, build life-long friendships and make lasting memories
- Be free-of-charge for participants. Despite the rapidly increasing costs of this high-quality, professional program, the Grand is committed to keeping the program free of charge
