Frequently Asked Questions

Below are frequent questions about Sterling Community Theatre's general operations and activities. You will also find specific information regarding upcoming productions.

1. Do I have to be a resident of Sterling, MA to be involved in Sterling Community Theatre (SCT)?
   
   No. Our productions are open to anyone.
    
   
2. How many shows does SCT do?
   
   Generally, we produce one large show each year in September. We sometimes produce or support a smaller production depending on staff availability.
   
   
3. Do actors/actresses get paid?
   
   No. Our performers are all volunteers. SCT shows are funded through donations, fund-raising campaigns, participant dues, program advertisments and ticket sales.
    
   
4. Are there other ways to be involved that do not include being on stage?
   
   Absolutely! We are always looking for volunteers to help with stage crew, ticket sales, concession stand, parental monitors, house setup, set building/painting.
    
   
5. What if I can't attend a rehearsal or performance?
   
   Every SCT production has a specific requirement for rehearsal attendence. We appreciate notification of any dates that conflict with rehearsals at the beginning of the rehearsal schedule. Excessive absences will result in a performance review and possible exclusion from a production.
   Since performances are scheduled well in advance, absence from a show date is not acceptable.
