Sun 3/13 @ 2:00 Finally we get to "Exit Laughing" at our Annual Business Meeting! Oasis Tea and Cofee, 714 N. Bullard St., Silver City.
Two years ago, the SCCT cast of Neil Simon's, "Exit Laughing" was days from opening a two week run at the El Sol Theatre, but the stay at home orders brought production to a halt. This year our Annual Meeting will be hybrid (zoom and in person), and to honor the time and talent of the leading ladies (Phyllis McQuaide, Theresa Murphy, Linda Bluestone), and their director (Griffin Campbell), we invited them to revive one of their favorite scenes from "Exit Laughing" for our Annual Meeting entertainment! We hope you can join us in-person or on zoom for this very special event. Subscribe or renew your SCCT membership and register for the Annual Meeting at silvercitycommunitytheater.com.

Starlight Theatre Players Joe Navan, Wendy Spurgeon, and Mia Riley offer up a powerful staged reading in support of SCCT Membership. “What the Constitution Means to Me” is a 2017 American play by Heidi Schreck.
