Suddenly THIS Summer

As Puerto Vallarta's sun and tropic heat penetrate you , one can fell the presence of Tennessee Williams. He wrote "Suddenly Last Summer" with the memories of Mexico and the dark skinned Mexican men that inspired him to write. One can feel Sebastian running in fear from the beauty he had chased...down streets..into bars...and on the dark...wave crashed beach that inspired part of his greatness. One can almost see him on the beach and the bars....seeking comfort from the demons he ran from. Sebastian's demons are his own. And...in this incredible beauty...lie his deepest fears. SCTC will bring you Tennesssee Williams as you may not have seen him before...and hope that you will join us the the explotration of his genius. October approaches...when summer will trail behind....

A Tennessee Summer

"Suddenly Last Summer" opens in October as we begin our "Tenn x 10" season. I attached this pic of Tennessee as he lounges on his summer porch..also waiting for next season to begin. It's only a hot day in June but I am meeting our wonderful director, Connie Norwood, tonight for our first planning meeting so that in October she and her cast can show you all exactly what happened..."Suddenly Last Summer". Just like Tenn...take your shoes off, put your feet up and rest up for next season....you'll be glad you did.

"Moon" sets over Waterfront South

Great crowd to experience our final "Moon" this afternoon. This season over 5,000 people came to be a part of SCTC and professional theatre in Camden. I cannot thank you all enough. Remember back in 2002 when I first brought the idea of professional theatre coming to Camden and I heard certain people say"no one will ever come". Well...this season...over 5,000 people came to Waterfront South Theatre to see the end of the old, post war, Camden...the beauty of sisterly love in Harlem, Odet's anger about people out of work in 1935 and NJ today, Jason Miller's ghosts and demons, and O'Neill "Misbegotten" moon over a couple of lost souls. Camden through SCTC, Waterfront South Theatre, and art is rising as we all witness it day by day. Treasure lies in the streets of our shining city...and you all glisten in it's glow by being a part of it. On to next season and Tennessee Williams. But for now...the tides of summer beckon....

This past weekend we started with our sold out Gala where Bro Mickey McGrath presented the theatre with his new, incredible work, "The Hound in the Hellhole". It is a remarkable work showing O'Neill, Dorothy Day and many influences as they share a drink. We are honored to be the home of such beauty and Mickey's work will enhance even more your experience at our new theatre. We then had three incredible performances of "A Moon for the Misbegotten" which were extremely well attended and received. The cast absolutely cannot wait to get back to the theatre for this final weekend.
