SCT Endowment Fund
In December 2021, Springfield Contemporary Theatre received the generous gift of a secure future when Maggie Wilcox, SCT Board Member, established the SCT Endowment Fund. The Endowment Fund is established through the Community Foundation of the Ozarks.
An Endowment Fund is an important step for any non-profit in establishing the organization's fiscal health and longevity. Springfield Contemporary Theatre has spent 2022 fulfilling many of its pandemic promises: growing the organization with a new Board of Directors, continued efforts towards and strategic planning and a permanent home, more paid opportunities for artists at SCT and returning to uninterrupted premiere, immersive, grown-up theatre. There are several ways to support the SCT Endowment Fund, whether through a one time, recurring, end of year or legacy gift.

Robert Bradley Memorial Fund
On Thursday, October 6, 2022, we lost a bedrock member of the SCT team. Robert “Bob” Bradley will be remembered as an outstanding educator, theatrical director, mentor, artist, storyteller, colleague, and friend. Following his 39-year career as professor of theatre and department head for the Department of Theatre and Dance at Missouri State University, Bob found his artistic home at SCT directing 34 productions since 2003 in his “retirement.” With SCT Bob helmed productions including Sense & Sensibility, Oppenheimer, Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Chesapeake, HIR, Other Desert Cities, The Normal Heart, The Threepenny Opera, The Tempest, Saving Rose O’Neill, Bus Stop, Morning’s at Seven, Sing for Your Supper, A Holiday Carol, 33 Variations, Glengarry Glen Ross, Educating Rita, Amadeus, The Secret Garden, The Light in the Piazza, All My Sons, Dinner with Friends, Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, Frozen, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Nine: The Musical, Man of La Mancha, Edward Albee’s The Goat Or, Who is Sylvia?, Master Class, Edward Albee’s Three Tall Women, A Grand Night for Singing and Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill. Longtime friend and former Tent Theatre alumnus, Maggie Wilcox has established a memorial fund in Bob’s honor with contributions going into SCT’s building fund. One of Bob’s main recent priorities with SCT was finding a long-term sustainable home for the organization. In the theatre’s future home, a prominent acknowledgement will be displayed. |

In coordination with Robert Bradley & Jim's family, Springfield Contemporary Theatre has established a memorial fund in his honor -contributions will go into SCT's building fund. In the lobby of the theatre's future home an acknowledgement will be displayed.
SCT Resident Director and Board Member, Robert Bradley, has posted a remembrance of James Billings.
