Goat in the Schools is GRP's youth theatre show, and the only touring production in New Orleans that features student-written plays performed by professional actors. Each year, GRP chooses four plays written by middle school students in the Play/Write program, stages them with professional actors and designers, and then brings them to local schools (2,000+ students).
2026 - 27 is GRP’s tenth year bringing Goat in the Schools to New Orleans students!
Goat in the Schools is on the road from October - December 2026.
We will start our summer tour in May 2027.
