Our Company of GGC Players:Thank you for your participation in our theatrical, artistic adventure. Since 2013, wehave been doing productions completely involving actors from the GGC - ORIGINALONE ACTS, THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT, FOOL FOR LOVE, LIQUID LOVE(music), ALL I WANT IS MAGIC (music), Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST, I STANDBEFORE YOU NAKED and Shakespeare's THE COMEDY OF ERRORS with ashowcase and more music thrown in for extra excitement. Stage training is essentialfor discipline, imagination and stretching the actor. At Juilliard and Yale DramaSchool- this is their benchmark - the stage. Just because we're in L.A. is no reason to alterthat basic and primary approach to being an actor with a long career.

Being a stage trained actress from NYC, and studying first with Walt Witcover at HBStudios and thenwith the greats -Michael Shurtleff andMilton Katselas (a total of over25 years studying with my mentors while working as an actress in film and televisionand internationally) - stage training is my benchmark as a teacher.

In 2013, when I directed 13 original one-act plays, written by and starring the GGCPLAYERS, some nights 35 actors hit the stage. Very satisfying and commerciallysuccessful for the actors.

We continued themomentumwith THEOWLANDTHEPUSSYCAT, a production thatstartedasavery successful scene in theadvancedscenestudy classof TheGGC. TheOwl and the Pussycat received five very good reviews - opened on April 6 and closedon May 12. It was a success for the company.

Our next production, SamShepard's FOOL FORLOVE, starring Lauren Plaxco, ChadDoreck and Robert May originated as a successful scene in the class also. Thatproduction, which I also had the privilege of directing, opened May 18, and returnedAugust 24 for six weeks. It packed a powerful punch.

After we successfully tackled SHAKESPEARE'S THE TEMPEST AND his THECOMEDY OF ERRORS, it was only natural that we attempt an original musical. Theactors and I wrote the script and I selected the songs, collaborated on costumes andproduction design and off we go into DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND UP TO THEMOON, opening March 19, 2016. We plan to do a production of SHAKESPEARE'SMUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING - using some of the original language Shakespeareintended (the text interpreted from a new dictionary created to get back toShakespeare's original outrageous language). Wehope thismakes this a bawdy,boldand exciting project for all of us. We will do this production in April of 2016 running onFriday nights, while themusical is Saturday andSunday. Ambitious or insane - or both.

Thank you again for helping us get better and better and bringing you some insight andjoy along the way - we hope.

Onward with love,Gloria GiffordExecutive Producer/Teacher/DirectorThe Gloria Gifford Conservatory for the Performing Artswww.gloriagiffordconservatory.com
