OUR HISTORY
One day in the spring of 1997, Susan Galvin looked at the unused stage in the Parish Hall of The First Church in Sterling and asked, "What do you think about starting a community theatre here?" By that fall, she and a group of The First Church members produced Sterling Community Theatre’s first show, Godspell.
After a surprising success, the group decided to continue the following year with Jesus Christ Superstar. Since then the group has produced at least one show a year, every year. Subsequent shows have included well-known titles such as Fiddler on the Roof, The Wizard of Oz, and The Music Man, and most recently Beauty and the Beast, Footloose, Mamma Mia, Matilda, and School of Rock!
Sterling Community Theatre has always been a proud extension and community outreach of The First Church. Involvement is open to any resident of any town, not just Sterling.
