South Carolina Children's Theatre

25 and 17 are some seriously significant workiversaries! Congrats, Traysie, on year 25, and Betsy, on year 17! SCCT is the organization it is today because of you both. And there are countless ADULTS who grew up in our community and were mentored by both of you. Comment with your favorite Traysie or Betsy moment and show them some love!

🌟 A Long Time Ago in a Theatre Not So Far, Far Away… 🌟
Three years ago, a young Padawan named Genesis Garza embarked on his journey at SCCT, bringing balance to the stage and mastering the technical arts with the precision of a Jedi. Today, we celebrate his workiversary and his incredible impact in our galaxy!
From building sets that rival the Death Star to creating lighting that could guide us through the darkest parts of the galaxy, Genesis has been a true force in our theatre family. 🎭✨
Thank you, Genesis, for three stellar years of dedication, creativity, and lightspeed problem-solving. May the force be with you as you continue to inspire and amaze us all!

Don’t forget to register for our classes this semester! We offer options for all grade levels and interests, but time to register is running out - don’t miss out!

Each year, we are so fortunate to receive support from many local businesses. One way small businesses can help SCCT empower young people and their families is by placing an ad in our playbills. Thank you to our 23-24 advertisers!

Tickets for our Teen Musical production of Godspell are on sale now!

Godspell
July 26-28, 2024

Conceived and originally directed by John Michael Tebelak
Music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Based on The Gospel According to St. Matthew
SCCT Teen Musical Performance

Led by the international hit "Day by Day," Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All for the Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side."

A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using various games, storytelling techniques, and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance, and love come vibrantly to life.

SCCT's Bell Stage
Price: $15
Run time: 2 hours with an intermission
Best enjoyed by ages 8 and up
https://scchildrenstheatre.org/shows/godspell/
