Over time as the GC Drama program has been able to become more established it has flourished into the most recognizable high school theatre program in collier county!
After being reviewed by judges, “Mamma Mia!” Our 2022 Fall Mainstage was chosen as one of the top 5 musicals in the state and given the opportunity to perform live at the Straz Center for the Florida State Thespian Competition. The entire production was transferred from our hometown of Naples to Tampa, FL. This included the sets, costumes, microphone’s, special effects and most importantly the cast and crew! We wouldn’t have been able to do it without our generous sponsors, allowing us to generate enough money to support the transport of all the pieces. We were extremely grateful to provide over 3,000 attendees our live theatre experience in the Ferguson Hall at the Straz Center!
