Since 1985, GCMT Artistic Director and Founder, John Bisceglie, has directed and choreographed hundreds of community, commercial, and professional productions featuring actors of all ages. For nine years, Bisceglie held the title of Artistic Director for San Jose Parks and Recreation's Young People's Theater, and has been serving Gilroy's Community Services Department in the same capacity for the past nineteen years.
Over 1000 kids from San Jose, Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Hollister, Salinas, San Juan Bautista and San Martin have participated in our colorful and elaborate theater productions.
John Bisceglie and all of us at The Gilroy Children's Musical Theater inspire kids to activate their individual creative aspirations and instill the motto that "everyone has talent and can succeed" regardless of age, experience and natural ability. We believe in empowering South Valley talent and find it amazing what a little responsibility, teamwork and spotlight can do. You will always see a variety of talents and ages in our productions, from first timers to seasoned veterans. Ultimately, they always exceed our expectations as well as their own and are an inspiration to all who see them perform.
We are passionate about theater and believe it to be as important to a child's upbringing as reading, writing, and arithmetic. Cast members are encouraged to naturally develop their imagination and self-esteem while building lifelong skills such as creativity, dedication, self-discipline, and cooperation.
Our exciting and convenient 10-week program, with "Saturday only" rehearsals, makes participation in our productions fun and easy for busy South Valley families.

Our family has been involved in John Bisceglie's musical theater productions for the past four years and it has been an experience like no other! Both my children have been involved in John's shows as have I on a number of occasions. My son has been the one who has really bloomed under John's direction; nowe 14, he looks forward to every production and what the experience will bring. I highly recommend getting involved in John's shows! It's a "whole family" experience! We love it!

We have been involved with John Bisceglie's Gilroy children's musical theater productions for the past four years and have nothing but positive things to say. Through the process, our kids have gained confidence that reflects both on and off the stage. John has extraordinary vision that shows with each of his quality productions and an incredible way of motivating children to try their very best and shine. Audience members are always impressed with the amazing results...the shows are awesome!

Our family has been involved in theatre for over four years including 9 productions. Five of the shows my boys have done have been through John Bisceglie productions. John’s productions are high quality from costumes to sets to production. Having high expectations set for our boys have taught them to respect the theatre, how to perform to their potential & to get the most from the entire experience! As parent I have really enjoyed working with John and crew! Everyone loves the shows!
