About this Organization: GSC’s mission is to present professional productions
of intellectually stimulating and socially relevant dramas,
comedies, and musicals; provide a nurturing work environment
in an inspirational setting for artists of exceptional talent;
contribute to the cultural, economic, and educational development
of Cape Ann; and enrich the nation's theater landscape by
introducing audiences to new work. GSC was founded in 1979
by Geoff Richon, Denny Blodgett and internationally acclaimed
playwright Israel Horovitz as a safe harbor for playwrights
and new plays. Mr. Horovitz served as the first artistic
director and continued in that role through the 2006 season.
Eric Engel, who had served as Producing Director/Associate
Artistic Director and guest director, is currently the Artistic
Director. GSC has realized its mission with the production
of more than 35 world premieres, 15 American premieres and
25 New England premieres. Plays developed at GSC have gone
on to critical and popular acclaim on and off Broadway, across
the U.S. and around the world. GSC has received several Elliot
Norton Awards for individual productions and performances,
including one to Mr. Horovitz for his work at GSC, and a
New England Theater Conference Award. In 2004 GSC purchased
the historic building on Smith Cove overlooking Rocky Neck,
the nation’s oldest arts colony that had been its home
since 1987. We are ready to embark on a capital campaign
to modernize our 175-seat facility, take full advantage of
our extraordinary location, and create a professionally staffed
theater school to offer much needed drama programs in
partnership with area schools. |
