People's Light Discounted Tickets and Summer Camp

GVMS PTO receives special pricing for summer camps and theatre tickets, in partnership with People’s Light!

Summer Theatre Camp

Enroll a student in a SummerBLAST 2023 theatre camp session, with a GVMS discount!

People’s Light is a year-round professional theatre featuring artists from all around the country, and all summer sessions are led by working professional teaching artists. Our summer theatre explorations don’t begin with a script or an assigned role — they begin with curiosity. Rather than learn “what lines to say,” we begin with a toolbox and learn what we can build. Collaborative exercises generating stories and characters will uncover the link between our own understanding of the world and the performances we create.

 Two sessions for two different age groups:

  • “Story Lab” is for students entering grades 5-8

  • “Story Finders” is for students entering grades 2-4.

  • Use promo code “SummerGVMS” to receive 10% off regular registration price.

(This discount is not valid for the 1-week session “Actor’s Gym.”)

All SummerBLAST 2023 camp information is available at: https://www.peopleslight.org/education/summerblast/

Buy a ticket to Songs for Nobodies

Save 20% on your ticket, and 25% will be donated to the Great Valley Middle School PTO!

A one-woman powerhouse performance weaves the music of Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf, and Maria Callas throughout a mosaic of stories told by the everyday women who encountered these musical icons. Featuring the “flat-out spectacular" (Wall Street Journal) Bethany Thomas performing favorites like "Come Rain or Come Shine," "Crazy," and "Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do," Songs for Nobodies celebrates the healing power of song.

  •  Use promo code “GVMSPTO” when you buy tickets online or at the box office.

  • Valid for performances from April 25-May 7.

(The performance on April 28 is an Access Night already discounted, and is not included as part of the fundraiser.)

More show information is available at: https://www.peopleslight.org/whats-on/20222023-season/songs-for-nobodies/
