The SSCT Board is a working Board of Directors.  All of our members are not only qualified professionally for their positions in SSCT,  but also dedicated volunteers who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and commit to the many tasks associated with preparing for a theatrical event.  We are very proud of the fact that the decisions made for our organization come from hard working people with a true interest and respect for theater, the mission of SSCT, and for the city of Sand Springs.
