Since 1984, this SSMT has wowed over 20,000 audience members each summer while nurturing the next generation of theater talent. Elizabeth shares the origin story of SSMT and how it grew from a student training program into a nationally recognized summer stock company that now draws top talent from across the country! Discover how they pull off full-scale productions in just weeks and keep audiences coming back year after year.
