About GTC
The Gurnee Theatre Company is a not-for-profit corporation registered in the State of Illinois, October 18, 2001.
Our Vision
Freedom of Expression
The 2001 vision of company founders Doug McDade and Mark Heller is for The Gurnee Theatre Company to become the premiere performing arts organization in the area.
It is their hope and dream that as a professional theatre, GTC will inspire and assist in the development of an arts oasis that bridges northeastern Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin, creating an outlet for talent in all areas of the arts to share their gifts.
The beauty of theatre is that it embodies and encompasses all of the arts.
A theatrical production must always reflect the:
Visual Arts
~ In the design and painting of the set, the costumes, and the lighting.
Music
~ The melody of the dialogue, the tune of the mood, the harmony of
the characters, the song of the story and the rhythm of its pace.
Performance of the artists
~ The truthful interpretation and expression of the written word,
composition of the score, movement of the body and creative images of the mind.
