Who We Are
In 2014, a group of aspiring actors took a class at the Western Institute for Life Long Learning, a part of Western New Mexico University (WNMU) in Silver City, NM. Out of that class, Silver City Community Theatre (SCCT) developed and became established as nonprofit in November 2014. SCCT’s goal is to entertain Silver City and Grant County audiences by producing fun, thought provoking, and periodically original works. And, not coincidentally, to enable those aspiring actors to act. SCCT’s first production was “A Twilight Christmas,” an original work written and performed by SCCT members.
As a theater without a permanent venue, SCCT is very community-based and has performed at coffee houses, Silver City’s historic Silco Movie Theater, at the Silver City Museum, at the Fine Arts Theater and Light Hall at WNMU, at the Silver City Women’s Club, in church halls and schools, at dinner venues, in the ballroom of the historic Elks Lodge, at festivals, in store fronts, outdoor venues, and on community radio. In 2024, SCCT is contracting to use the El Sol Theater and the WPA Theater at Historic Fort Bayard.
