GPC is an NYC-based theater production company that creates multi-disciplinary music and dance variety shows - blending pop culture, vintage cabaret, and vaudeville aesthetics.  Produced and directed by a female-led team, GPC also focuses on providing performance and production opportunities for female-identifying artists and art that celebrates the femme experience. Company members include dancers, vocalists, drag queens, emcees, and magicians. The company’s self-produced musical dance videos have garnered over 2 million views on YouTube alone.

Our Story

Founded in 2014, the company was created when an Upper West Side restaurant commissioned founder Bridget Bose to produce a cabaret show for the restaurant. The initial mission was simple, and remains the same to this day: Create performance art inspired by music, dance, and costumes that fulfill their guilty performing pleasures. After a nine-month run, the company moved the show downtown to the world-famous Duplex Cabaret Theater - where they sold out monthly shows for years.

 

The notoriety that GPC gained from their performances at The Duplex has led to performances at Jazz at Lincoln Center, New York Fashion Week, Feinstein’s/54 Below, The Cutting Room, DROM, The Triad, The Ten-Foot Rat Cabaret, Clocktower Cabaret in Denver, Stage 773 in Chicago, Voodoo Comedy Lounge in Denver, Caribbean Villas in San Pedro, Belize, and Resorts World, Bimini, Bahamas.   In 2018, the company formed The Sirens, a female vocal group that seamlessly blends retro vibes, pop tunes, and musical theater stylings with tight harmonies and leading lady vocals. In 2020, the company quickly and successfully shifted to virtual programming due to pandemic shutdowns and has since incorporated virtual programming, film productions, and site-specific works into its repertoire.  They continue to innovate their business and art so that they can continue to produce variety shows.
