Our 2026 Spring Season
Kayden vs the Closet Monster is a heartfelt and imaginative one-act play that follows a young girl navigating her fears, friendships, and sense of belonging through the help of her imaginary friend, Kitty, and the loving guidance of her two dads. When a new student joins her class, Kayden begins to find the courage to share her truth and embrace what makes her family — and herself — unique. Centered around themes of inclusion, identity, and self-acceptance, this play offers a tender, age-appropriate lens on growing up in an LGBTQ+ family and finding pride in who you are.
During a late-night practice, Scotty Doseno and her band of punk rockers accidentally release a demon in their basement with the power of rock n’ roll. In order to save the upcoming School Rock Off Competition, the band must reveal the secrets of punk rock’s past, make unlikely friends, and mend the broken bonds in their band. Because if they don’t, the demon threatens to destroy rock music as they know it forever.
Our Typical Season
Every fall and spring semester, we put out a call for students to submit short plays, 30-45 minutes in length. We choose three plays for each season.
Then, teams of students are put together for each play: directors, designers, stage managers, and technical teams. Auditions are held by the directors to cast their productions. It’s a very quick process; each show has 1-4 weeks to rehearse, depending on their slot in the season.
Each show then has three performances. The shows are performed in the Barbara MacIntyre Theatre at the Phoenix, a little black-box studio theatre that offers flexibility for student designers.
Accessibility Guide
The accessibility guide is a document created for SATCo audience members attending our shows. This document contains information about trigger warnings and content notes, accessibility, and more.
We usually post the accessibility guide for each show a few days prior to the show’s opening performance. Please reach out to our Liaison if you have any questions or concerns!
