About the GT Junior Players
The GT Junior Players are a troupe of young performers between the ages of 10 – 16 who are interested in learning more about acting and what it takes to be a professional performer.
This is an audition based ensemble that will spend 12 weeks learning about the many different aspects of performing including improvisation, auditioning, scene work, movement, voice, and backstage etiquette. The semester will culminate in a final showcase in front of a live audience that will allow the students to utilize the skills they have learned.
The troupe will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm in McCalla Hall at Greenville Theatre and will be led by Director of Education Carter Allen. The cost for each semester will be $250 per student.
Fall 2026 Session
September 1 – November 19, 2026
Auditions for our Fall 2026 semester will be held Tuesday, August 25 at 4:30PM and Thursday, August 27 at 4:30PM. Students only need to attend one audition day—please choose the date that works best for your schedule. For the auditions students should wear closed toe shoes and clothes they feel comfortable moving in. Also, please memorize a brief 30 second to one minute monologue or poem to perform. The student will also be asked to read from a script with a partner. The audition will start with a group warm up. You will not need to sign up before arriving at the audition. If you cannot attend these auditions, but would still like to be considered for GT Junior Players, please email carter@greenvilletheatre.org to set up another time.
Betty Farr Education Scholarship
GT is honored to announce the initiation of the Betty Farr Educational Scholarship in loving memory of Greenville philanthropist and youth advocate, “Grandma” Betty Farr.
From an early age, Farr firmly believed in the impact the arts have on children, founding Betty’s School of Dance when she was just 19 years old. She provided unparalleled support for the arts until she passed away this spring at the age of 92.
We are incredibly honored to offer this new scholarship opportunity for students in need as a tribute to Betty Farr’s memory.
For additional details and scholarship application information please contact our Director of Education, Carter Allen – carter@greenvilletheatre.org
