What's Next for GPHS Theatre?
HONK! Jr
Playing November 2025
at the GPHS Performing Arts Center​​​
In the Fall we will be bringing to the stage: “Honk Jr.”
​
“Honk Jr” is a comedic and touching musical based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, “The Ugly Duckling.” The musical focuses on themes of diversity, rejection, self-acceptance, bravery, and kindness. Of course, the Ugly Duckling discovers his true identity as a beautiful swan, and the show celebrates the beauty of individuality and diversity.
The show will be directed and choreographed by Erica Bury and directed by Katie Jarvis Shomler.
​
We are excited to announce that this year’s musical will be an ALL-DISTRICT SHOW! We are working with our amazing middle school thespian troupe advisors, Jael and Jennifer, to offer opportunities for our junior thespians to be a part of this musical! This is the first time we have been able to produce a multi-school production. We are excited to bring this idea to fruition after many years in the making!

Silent Sky
Playing March 2026
at the GPHS Performing Arts Center​​​
In the Spring we will bring to the stage: “Silent Sky”
​
“Silent Sky” showcases the true story of a group of overlooked 20th-century female astronomers whose groundbreaking work changed the way we see the universe. The play centers on the story of Henrietta Leavitt, whose passion for discovery helped astronomy map the stars, even as she fought for recognition in a male-dominated world.
The show offers excellent opportunities for powerful, emotionally rich performances. Though the cast is small, we plan to double-cast this show and let the casts share the performances.
​
The show will be directed by Denise Baker and will run March 6-15, 2026.
