GECA will soon be listed as a public charity in IRS Publication 78. It is the commitment of GECA to support and develop a love of and talent for the arts in all its various forms in South Alabama and Northwest Florida.  It is our further commitment to encourage community involvement in the performing arts by making available family-friendly opportunities to participate in the production of, and enjoyment of live theatre experiences.  With a commitment to professionalism in all endeavors, GECA has built a reputation for first class performances.  We currently have an active talent pool of more than 100 performers, trained and untrained, who give their time and talents freely year round.  This number does not include the dozens of other skilled artists and craftsmen who share their abilities behind the scenes to support the performers on stage.  GECA continues to represent quality on and off the stage.
