Great Futures Productions Information
Great Futures Productions is a Children's Theatre Company at The Boy & Girls Club of North Lake Tahoe. Great Futures Productions creates extraordinary theatre experiences that educate, challenge, and inspire young people and their communities. We unleash the power of curiosity, empathy and imagination. Great Futures Productions is dedicated to enriching the lives of young people by offering opportunities in the performing arts that engender self-confidence, inspire both individual expression and ensemble teamwork, and provide positive role modeling, thereby encouraging community outreach through quality theatrical productions for children and teens.
Great Futures Productions produces five musicals a year and one play, with one of the five musicals being produced in partnership with Incline High School. Great Futures Productions also offers classes in singing, dancing and acting through-out the year.
One product of Great Futures Productions has been the Musical Theatre Troupe. The troupe is a group of 20 students from the musical theatre program ranging in grades 5th-12th. The troupe performs at a variety of events through out the year in the North Lake Tahoe and Reno communities.
The Troupe has won two talent competitions over the past four years. In 2014 the troupe traveled to Long Beach, California to perform at the BGC Pacific Regional conference. In September of 2017, ten students from the musical theatre troupe were awarded a trip to Las Vegas to perform at The Planet Hollywood. These students opened the Pacific and Southwest Region Leadership Conference. April 2024 the Troupe opened for the 30th Anniversary of Broadway Comes to Reno at the Pioneer Center.
