AT GATEWAY'S ACTING SCHOOL WE SET OUT TO TAKE TALENTED, CREATIVE YOUNG PEOPLE ON A JOURNEY TO OPEN UP THEIR IMAGINATIVE WORLD ALLOWING THEM TO APPRECIATE THEIR SENSITIVITY AND UNIQUE IDEAS. WE ALLOW THEM TO BE WHO THEY ARE, TO THINK MORE DEEPLY, TO FEEL LARGER, TO DREAM BIGGER. WE GIVE THEM TOOLS AND SKILLS TO GUIDE THEM, SHAPE THEM AND BROADEN THEIR HORIZONS.
WE HAVE A LARGE INVENTORY OF SCENERY AND BACKDROPS AVAILABLE FOR RENT. ALL OF OUR SCENERY IS STORED IN TRACTOR TRAILERS. MOST SCENERY AND PROPS WERE CONSTRUCTED IN OUR OWN SCENE SHOP. OTHERS WERE OBTAINED FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES (BROADWAY, NATIONAL TOURS, REGIONAL THEATRES, ETC.). WE CONTINUE TO PROMOTE THE THEATRE ART BY RENTING TO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS RANGING FROM HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCTIONS, TO COMMUNITY THEATRES, TO PROFESSIONAL AND TOURING COMPANIES.
