Welcome
to the Playhouse on Main! Here at the Playhouse, all throughout the
year one can play a role in Starkville Community Theatre's many activities,
productions, parties, and creations. SCT currently stages four productions
per season, which run nine performances each, and a children's workshop
and production each June. For the
past nine summers, SCT has staged a fund-raising musical revue in July
as well.
On the first Monday
of each month, an open general meeting is held at the Playhouse on Main.
These meetings are open to anyone in the community who might want to
become involved with SCT. We generally host two banquets each year: a potluck
dinner at Christmas time and a catered dinner in May celebrating the
end of a production season.
In addition to the meetings, shows and banquests, SCT hosts Just For Fun nights from time to time to give people a chance to socialize and meet new people.
In 2006, SCT launched a new and exciting effort called Fourth Fridays. Fourth Fridays is an open forum for area playwrights and other writers who want to have their works read and discussed on the mainstage at SCT. The events are open to the public and happen on the fourth (and sometimes third) Friday of each month. These informal, unrehearsed, script-in-hand readings are meant to serve as a useful took for writers who would benefit by hearing their works read out loud--and by hearing feedback about them from the community and the readers.
Over 600 season-ticket
holders, in addition to many non-season-ticket holders, currently attend
SCT productions each year. Our nine performances of each production
have lately been playing to wonderful sold-out audiences in our 89-seat
theatre, and the possibility of adding one or two more performances
per production is under consideration!
