Our History

​

Sapulpa Community Theatre, Inc. had its humble beginnings back in 1978 when a small group of actors, lead by John B. Clark and Wanda Lovelace, banded together as the Sapulpa Community Players. The principal goal was to produce shows as a fund-raising vehicle for local charities.

 

In the latter part of 1988, a non-profit 501 (c)3 corporation was formed and became Sapulpa Community Theatre, Inc.

 

Having high hopes – but only $500 in cash – the new corporation set its sights on the old Church of Christ, Scientist building at 124 S. Water Street. In June 1989, a group of six people backed a note to purchase the building for $27,000.

 

Due to the overwhelming support of businesses and foundation grants, renovations were made which totaled $20,000. In August 1991, the final payment on the original building note was made.

 

Since then, a storage facility has been built and maintenance continues to preserve the theatre building.
