About

The mission of Galt Garden Theater is to provide an experience in which to foster friendships and a love for all sides of the theater and the arts. The programs are designed to give young people a nurturing environment in which to create, collaborate and share their talents; to ignite their imagination and give them a project to immerse themselves in. This theater education teaches the campers to use their freedom well; to articulate their thoughts clearly; to empathize; to support and help others with a spirit of cheerful self-giving; and, finally, to seek to respect and understand everyone's part and struggle in this play of life.
