Greenbelt Arts Center Information

GAC is a Community Theater known for high-quality shows that showcase the experience and talents of our performers and crews, who manage to fit their love of the performing arts into their busy lives. Come and see what we do! GAC is staffed primarily by volunteers, with a paid General Manager, volunteer technical director and board members who fulfill various administrative roles. All other administrative, artistic and technical staff are chosen show by show, with a play reading committee that selects and assigns directors for each season. GAC;s “black box” theater seats may be re-arranged for each production, allowing maximum flexibility for directors. The three-quarter thrust is our most common arrangement, with audience surrounding the stage on three sides. A proscenium stage is possible here too, with the audience facing the stage which is framed like a picture with an arch and curtains. Productions have also used an arena arrangement with seats on all four sides and the stage in the center, a turning stage, and a cafe-style seating arrangement with patrons at tables while they watch the show. The theater holds an average of 100 audience members depending on the seating style chosen for the show. All seating is General Admission. There are no assigned seats. Reservations and advance purchases are recommended to guarantee a seat. Come a little early and enjoy the rotating displays by local artists and photographers in our lobby gallery.
