Starkville Community Theatre's 2022-2023 Season
Join us as we celebrate our 45th Season
Into the Woods
By Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine
Directed by Gabe Smith
October 12-16 and October 18-20, 22, 2022
This classic Stephen Sondheim musical intertwines the plots of several of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, exploring the characters’ wishes and the consequences of their actions. Darkly comic and poignant, this show asks the question: What happens AFTER "happily ever after"?
Sanders Family Christmas
By Connie Ray
Directed by Pattye Archer
December 1-4 and December 7-10, 2022
A sequel to the popular musical comedy “Smoke on the Mountain” (produced by SCT in the 2021-2022 season). The bluegrass-gospel troupe the Sanders Family Singers returns for a revival in Mt. Pleasant, North Carolina, in December 1941 - their final show before son Dennis leaves for military service in World War II. Hilarious, heartfelt, and filled wall-to-wall with toe-tapping music and Christmastime standards, this show is guaranteed to kickstart your holiday spirit.
Terms of Endearment
By Dan Gordon, adapted from the novel by Larry McMurtry and the screenplay by James Brooks
Directed by Christopher Walrath
February 16-19 and February 23-25, 2023
Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Larry McMurtry and the Academy Award-winning 1983 film by James L. Brooks, this comedy-drama follows the 30-year relationship between a mother and daughter, full of laughter, tears, courtships, grandchildren, the unbreakable bonds of family, and the endurance of love through some of life's hardest moments.
**This production contains strong language & some adult themes and is intended for mature audiences.
Suite Surrender
By Michael McKeever
Directed by Jo Durst
April 13-16 and April 20-22, 2023
Set in 1942, this delirious farce finds two feuding Hollywood divas booked in the same luxury suite at a Palm Beach hotel where both are set to headline a wartime benefit. Hilarity ensues as assistants and hotel staff try to keep the two actresses from seeing one another, at all costs.
Season Extra - Greater Tuna
By Jason Williams, Ed Howard and Joe Sears
Directed by Thomas La Foe
May 9-13, 2023
This side-splitting broad comedy is about the wacky inhabitants (men, women, children, and animals) of rural Tuna, Texas – pointedly the Lone Star State's third-smallest town – all played by two actors who change characters, voices, and costumes at breakneck speed.
