The Pulitzer Prize-winning play that opened in 1938 to mixed reviews has become one of the most popular produced plays of the 20th Century. Set in the early 1900s, the narrator allows the audience to have a peek into the lives of the residents of Grover’s Corners, a small New England town.
Parallel Lives

SCC proudly presents Parallel Lives. A white college professor and an African-American newspaper journalist were commissioned by the Florida Humanities Council to write essays about their experiences growing up in Central Florida during the Jim Crow era. The parallels in their stories led to a speaking tour and eventually to Parallel Lives, a play that captures your attention and makes you experience both sides of the race issue. Echoes still reverberate today, more than 50 years later.

Joe Turner's Come and Gone
January 30 and 31 at 8 p.m.

February 5, 6 and 7 at 8 p.m.
This play was inspired by W.C. Handy's Blues song of the same title and Romare Bearden’s painting of Mill Hand’s Lunch Bucket. Set in a Pittsburgh boardinghouse in 1911, Herald Loomis, who has recently spent seven years on a chain gang, has come to Pittsburgh in search of his wife and his identity. This was a common migration at that time for African Americans who were trying to leave their oppressive living conditions in the South in hope of finding financial success in the North.
Othello
February 26-28 at 8 p.m.
March 6, 7 and 8 at 8 p.m.
March 21 and 8 at 2 p.m.
A tragedy of jealousy and divided love, Shakespeare's classic Othello, the Moor of Venice, was based on a tale "Of the Unfaithfulness of Husbands and Wives" by sixteenth-century Italian writer Giraldi Cinthio. No character in literature can touch us more than Desdemona, and no character can shock and repel us more than lago. Between the two stands Othello, courageous, dignified, insecure and gullible. What Shakespeare wrote about almost 400 years ago still rings true today.
