ALUMNI ALERT: Once an SIP-er, always an SIP-er! 🎭
We were so honored to welcome Maura Littleton back to the Black Box, along with her husband, Scottie, and their newest addition, Fulton Pierre!
Maura’s legacy here is unforgettable—she joined us in 2017 for Love’s Labour’s Lost, 2018 for Taming of the Shrew, and finished strong in 2019 with our Tempest and Macbeth season. Whether she was shining on stage, managing costumes and marketing, or serving as Dr. C’s first-ever assistant, Maura did it all. It was wonderful to have her home!

OG SIP! SIP alumni Steffen Kellen and Andrea Serrani traveled from Alabama and Indiana to come back home to SIP! Steffen and Andrea were both a part of our first ever production in 2012! We are so glad they came to see the show. Steffen even became a part of the show, when he was pulled onstage to play the fourth bachelor! Steffen and Andrea, SIP wouldn’t be here without you and we are so grateful for this lasting family! Thank you!
