SCT
Playhouse -
www.spencercommunitytheatre.com
SCT
has played a significant role in providing quality
theatrical events in the community for a half-century.
SCT puts on four Main Stage productions each
year, including musicals, drama, and comedy, as well as
a children’s theatrical performance in the summer and
other special events.
In addition to a dedicated staff, the theatre
relies heavily on volunteer support from the community
and surrounding area.
The SCT Costume Shop is housed in the same
facility, with an inventory of over 30,000 costumes;
revenue from costume rentals is a major financial
support of the theatre. |

Spencer Area Concert Association -
www.spencerconcerts.com
The Spencer Area Concert
Association, a volunteer organization, brings
professional performing artists to Spencer for an annual
concert series. Four or five concerts are presented
between September and May. Every dollar received from memberships is spent to bring
quality programs to the stage. The association strives
to satisfy a wide range of musical interests. Recent
series programs have included classical soloists,
chamber ensembles, jazz, folk music, dancers, Broadway
revues, and popular music.
Because of a reciprocal agreement with other
concert associations in the region, members of the
Spencer Area Concert Association may attend concerts in Algona,
Sheldon, and Windom
at no additional charge. Members have the opportunity to attend as
many as 16 concerts a year.
