Gooseberry Park Players provides young people of all abilities with a unique educational and multi-generational summer theatre experience. Youth ages 11 to 18 are invited to participate in our July production each year. Our productions are based on classic and contemporary dramatic literature designed to intrigue, inform, educate, and entertain a family audience. We believe in providing a theatre opportunity for every child. We are a fee free program, meaning there is no activity fee to participate. Visit our Donor & Sponsorship Informational Page for more details about what rounds out our exclusive program.

Past show info: Gooseberry Park Players was excited to produce Beauty & The Beast as their 2021 summer musical. Based on the 1991 animated classic, the stage version of Disney's Beauty & the Beast includes all the wonderful original songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Alan Menken and Tim Rice.
