Welcome to Gunn Theatre for 2019-2020! We take great pride in producing wonderful shows and exploring the richness to be found in theatrical expression, whether in the form of performance, writing, designing, singing, or any of the other myriad modes of communication that theater affords. Glad you’re here!
Under the leadership of James Shelby (director/teacher) and Kristen Lo (technical theatre teacher), Gunn students stage three major productions each year and an evening of staged readings from Broadway Shows. Show auditions and tech/crew roles are open to all Gunn students. Theatre classes at Gunn include a comprehensive, four-year sequence of theatre courses and a separate stage tech class.

Gunn Theatre’s Fall Play: The Importance of Being Earnest
Performances of our Fall Play The Importance of Being Earnest took place on November 8-16, 2019.
Oscar Wilde’s wildly entertaining comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest, sparkles with dazzling wordplay and hilariously unlikely situations. This “trivial comedy for serious people” features carefree bachelors, beguiling and jealous fiancées, formidable dowagers, and the most famous handbag in theatre history!

- Saturday Nov 9, 2:00pm and 7:30pm
- Wednesday Nov 13, 4:00pm
