BACK TO GCP TIMELINE

2019

2021

The year, 2020, will go down in GCP’s history book as a “dark period”. The coronavirus, or COVID-19, was widespread and declared a global pandemic. Our theaters, 2nd Space Theatre and Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater, were forced to close its doors, and our theatre productions were halted in order to combat the spread of this life-threatening virus. Fortunately, Something Rotten! was able to perform their last scheduled performance, but Enchanted April only completed half of their production run. The last performances that year were on March 15, 2020.
