“Our 2023 Summer Circle season is designed to be accessible to all, young in years or young at heart,” said Production Manager Abbie Tykocki. Beyond theatrical productions, SCT is committed to offering free programming and special activities to create a summer destination for arts, education, and entertainment. Summer Circle Theatre provides a professional venue for MSU students to present shows of varying styles using the talents of community members and professional artists. This season’s programming is designed to attract audiences of all ages.
