We have seen several shows at SCCT, and each time I am in awe of how much work goes into these productions. The costumes, the set design, the acting, is all fantastic. My kids love them, I love them, they are great! We try to snag “pay what you can tickets” to help with the cost, and I am glad we are able to afford it. Both my kids are into theatre now because of it.
