Join us for the return of "Project P.L.A.Y." at SCT, back on stage for the first time since 2019!
For several weeks in June, local youngsters have been coming together with program director MJ Etua (with assistance from Sarah Staggers) to create their own original short plays from the ground up. Kids are acting for the first time, writing short plays for the first time, tackling tech duties for the first time, and even directing for the first time.
A month of fun, learning, and kid-fueled energy and excitement culminates in three public performances where our young artists share their creativity with YOU and show off some of the cooperation skills, self-confidence, individuality, and innovative problem-solving they've learned by working together.
Sponsored by Starkville Pediatric Clinic, "Project P.L.A.Y." will perform:
- Thursday, June 29 at 7 p.m.
- Friday, June 30 at 7 p.m.
- Saturday, July 1 at 1 p.m.
Individual tickets (for all ages) are $6 and are available here online or through our box office line at 662.323.6855. Tickets will also be available at the door. Seating is not pre-assigned for this production and will be first-come-first-seated on the date of the show, with auditorium doors opening no later than 15 minutes before showtime.
For anyone who could use a ticket to each date of the show, we'll be offering a multi-day pass, which can only be bought through our physical box office. That pass will be $15, allowing for three total admissions to the show - one per show date. Though the pass can only be used once per day, it could be used by multiple people if, for instance, one came on Thursday and another on Friday.
We can't wait for our young superstars to hear the support of a crowd seeing something they created, and we'd love for you to be there!
Like all programming in our 2022-2023 year, this production is supported in part by funding from the Mississippi Arts Commission, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
