Feature Story

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS WAS A BREAKOUT SUCCESS.

🚂 A First-Class Thank You to Our Incredible Crew of Volunteers! 🕵️‍♂️🔍

As Murder on the Orient Express pulls into the final station, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the extraordinary team of volunteers who made this journey unforgettable.

To our brilliant actors—thank you for embodying every accent, alibi, and eyebrow raise with mystery and charm.

To the designers—your costumes, lights, sound, and set turned a small-town stage into a roaring 1930s luxury train.

To the set builders—your craftsmanship laid the literal tracks for this production to roll full steam ahead.

To our front-of-house team—thank you for being the welcoming conductors of our theatrical express, ensuring every guest had a first-class experience.

You are the reason the show didn’t go off the rails (well, except for the murder part, but that was scripted).

Springboro Community Theatre thrives because of your time, heart, and commitment.

From the bottom of our hearts—and from the shadowy corners of the dining car—we thank you.

Saving Cinderella: A Staged Reading is coming to the SCT stage May 30th - June 1st

Even after becoming a princess, Cinderella is haunted by lying voices and comfortable patterns that prevent her from fully realizing her identity within her new role. When every courtier and servant assumes she is simply a “Pauper Princess,” she struggles to believe that she could become something more. Lyrics like “I need you to see me here” and “how do we rise up” illustrate her struggle while also pointing to the plight of so many who feel trapped and unseen as they endure difficult times.

/The Future of Theatre is Now

OUR YOUTH PRODUCTION OF ZOMBIE PROM HAS KICKED OFF REHEARSALS.

Crank up the riffs and feed your fear at Zombie Prom: this nuclear‑fueled musical crashes high‑school heartbreak into radioactive resurrection. When greaser Jonny Warner’s prom dreams go boom in a toxic waste dump, he claws his way back three weeks later—pale as the moon, glow‑in‑the‑dark and hell‑bent on one last dance. Twisted humor, killer hooks, and undead romance collide for the wildest prom night you’ll ever survive. Don’t miss the show that refuses to stay dead—grab your tickets or sign up to volunteer before they rot away!

Show runs for two weekends June 20-22nd & Jun 27-29th
