Springfield Contemporary Theatre is participating in Give Ozarks Day: Rally for Recovery event, an area day-of-giving event on Wednesday, March 24, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Along with more than 150 Ozarks nonprofit agencies, SCT is participating as part of our region’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Give Ozarks 2021, Springfield Contemporary Theatre will transform its ideas for the past twelve months into reality.
Throughout the day, SCT will announce and be fundraising towards a compelling thirteen-month main stage season
spanning May 2021-June 2022.
SCT’s goal is to raise $10,000 on Give Ozarks 2021 to support:
1. SCT’s new Operations Center which is fully equipped with administrative offices, rehearsal studio, scenic studio and warehouse which allows for outdoor productions and virtual streaming options.
2. Specific infrastructure costs required to mount productions outdoors on site, indoor productions on-site and off-site and site-specific productions that are safe for artists and patrons alike.
3. Continued solvency which allows the SCT to dream big by locking in a reduced overhead for the next two years.
4. The future at SCT: all items purchased will be selected to not only support our current venture and hybrid productions, but also the transition into SCT's eventual permanent home.
In February 2021, Springfield Contemporary Theatre established a new base of operations at 2025 E Chestnut Expressway. The move is an economical one that allows the organization to operate under one roof. This move consolidates what had been three different locations and will result in one rent and utilities payment instead of three. This new space provides SCT the flexibility to pursue virtual productions, outdoor productions on site, and productions at local venues that allow for safe and socially distant seating. In this new space, SCT will continue to prioritize producing safe, high quality, consistent, year-round productions that its audiences have come to expect.
What started as plans and ideas in theory has rapidly evolved into a clear reality for the 2021-2022 season. On Give Ozarks 2021, Springfield Contemporary Theatre will announce a compelling hybrid season with productions starting May 2021 through June 2022. As efforts to fight the pandemic continue, Springfield Contemporary Theatre has planned several outdoor productions on site at the new Operation Center and in site specific locations around Springfield in addition to opportunities with partner organizations at larger venues that can allow for socially distant seating. In addition to the mainstage docket, Springfield Contemporary Theatre is planning music events and a special gala celebration to get the organization back on track and pointed towards its future permanent home. We look forward to providing opportunities for our community, both artists and patrons, to come together safely and celebrate the shared theatrical experiences we know, love and miss.
We are committed to Downtown Springfield, and we continue our search for a permanent home in the downtown area that will allow us to produce indoor productions in a safe and healthy situation for performers and audience as social distancing guidelines can be eased in the future.
Springfield Contemporary Theatre is known for real, premiere, immersive, grown-up theatre. Thank you in advance for helping Springfield Contemporary Theatre achieve our goal on Give Ozarks 2021. Together, we will continue to create theatre safely, and with a fresh perspective.
