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).

2025 - 26 is GRP’s ninth year bringing Goat in the Schools to New Orleans students!

Stay tuned for info about the tour this year, which will begin in January 2026.
