Greater Lakes Area Performing Arts
Did you know the Lakes Area has a group dedicated to enriching the local culture through their support of the performing arts? The Greater Lakes Area Performing Arts, or GLAPA, formed in 1983 with the intent to bring Arts to the Lakes Area at a reasonable price. Since its inception, GLAPA has established a reputation of providing well-received, quality performances. The 2013-2014 Season lineup is sure to bring another year of stellar theater to the Brainerd Lakes Area.

GLAPA sets performances for each season, helping to find the talent, boost season ticket sales, and raise funds to underwrite programs. The GLAPA board is comprised of community-based, volunteer members. Performances are held at the Pequot Lakes High School Theater, to which GLAPA contributes support for upkeep and improvements.

Working closely with the Pequot Lakes Community Theater, GLAPA offers theater performances as part of its entertainment repertoire. PLCT productions now comprise three (3) of the performances offered each year, typically offering a summer show, a fall musical, and a winter, non-musical performance. The summer production typically coincides with the Pequot Lakes Bean Hole Days event. Each theatrical production is scheduled for six (6) presentations.

In addition to the PLCT productions, four (4) other performances are offered annually. Talents may include musical groups, comedy acts, vocalists, dancers, and magicians. Recent acts have included Willow Brae and the George Maurer Group. Each of these concert performances is held for only one night.
