Songs You've Sung: A PGT Re-View

Don't miss this one-time only event. The PGT staff will appear together on stage with our hosts, the PGT Senior Class, in a fun and nostalgic musical performance for the entire family. As a thank you gift to the donors that keep PGT in operation each year, the staff and many of our current PGT seniors have come together and given their time and talents to benefit PGT's generous theater community.

Songs You've Sung brings back musical highlights from recent and not so recent PGT shows with a light hearted nod to the young actors who first brought these characters to life on the PGT stage. This unique event features the talents of Jill Abusch, Steven Abusch, Vicki Buda, Derrick Cobey, Jeff Downing, Jaclyn Harriott, Dana Haynes, Barry James, Barbara Orwick, Jessica Smith and more...

This memorable evening continues with a reception and silent auction with exclusive items from Broadway stars, composers and producers, the PGT staff and the generous PGT community. Visit this page again soon to preview the silent auction items and find out if you can place advance bids!
