"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled." Plutarch
GTA's Theatre for Young Audiences, WonderQuest, stands out as the ONLY organization in North Georgia dedicated to offering professionally-produced theatre specifically for children and their families. WonderQuest is dedicated to lighting the fire of the mind.
There are ideas and feelings that theatre creates for children that no other medium can. Not TV or video or computer -- no matter how interactive -- it isn't alive. And when we combine that unique live element with literature -- when we lift the story from the page to the stage -- we empower children to find the same excitement in books... and in ideas. We have to kindle the fire.
Each production is performed in the historic Brenau University opera house, Pearce Auditorium, for family audiences and over 7,000 students from schools throughout northeast Georgia.

Previously...
The Emperor's New Clothes, written and directed by Gay H. Hammond, wowed audiences of more than 8300 people with its elaborate set and costumes through more than 15 performances.
Despite all that his devoted court can do to convince otherwise, the Emperor goes to greater and greater lengths to look elegant, original, and above all, impressive. When two very clever though unscrupulous "tailors", Stitch and Tuck, get involved, the Emperor discovers that the best fashion to show is a little good sense.
