CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| The SCA Administrator produces excellent shows and controls expenses in all areas of the production budget. Our challenge is offering shows that appeal to both our audience and our on stage and crew talent. Most season ticket holders enjoy the classic American musical theatre pieces like Annie Get Your Gun and My Fair Lady and shy away from recent works like The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Avenue Q. However, younger talent and audiences love the edgier, contemporary works of art. Ticket sales vary from season to season, so a reliable funding stream, a diverse board, engaged current members, and sponsors are all critical to our success. |
