Santa Maria Civic Theatre

Santa Maria Civic Theatre The SMCT workshop was founded in 1959 as the first organization in Santa Maria to perform theatre.

Since 1959, we've been the heart of continuous live performances in Santa Maria, becoming a non-profit educational organization in California in 1961. As one of the longest-running community theatres between Ventura and Monterey, our passion for theatre shines through in every show. In over 65 seasons, we've captivated audience members with hundreds of productions. From enchanting free Fairy Tale

performances to an array of special shows, our commitment to top-notch entertainment is unwavering. Our success stems from sound business practices, creativity, and a deep connection to our community's desires. Join us for an unforgettable night of theatre or volunteer with us to be a part of the magic. Whether you're an avid theatre-goer or new to the scene, the Santa Maria Civic Theatre welcomes you with open arms!
