The Outsiders. The organization has also earned a loyal local following and has been named Lowcountry%u2019s Best Live Theatre three times in recent years. Still, the SSTI experience is not defined by talent alone. It is also defined by scale. Longtime scenic designer and technical director Matthew Imhoff describes the backstage environment as a place of constant creativity and motion. %u201cAt any given moment, around every turn, there is something interesting happening,%u201d Imhoff says. %u201cOnstage you might have a 40-foot, two-story rotating set, and then in the next room you%u2019ve got 10,000 custom wooden rivets being painted and prepped to cover the side of an ocean liner for the next show. It%u2019s a theatremaker%u2019s dream, and it%u2019s realized work on a scale that many of us don%u2019t get to work on during the rest of the year.%u201d That same ambition will carry into SSTI%u2019s 2026 season at Beaufort High School. Following All Shook Up, the season will continue with Rodgers and Hammerstein%u2019s Oklahoma!, directed by Tony Award nominee Jenn Colella, whose Broadway credits include Suffs, Come From Away, andChaplin. For Beaufort-area audiences, SSTI%u2019s summer in town is more than a change of venue. It is an invitation to experience the kind of large-scale musical theatre that has helped define the organization for nearly 20 years, now right here in the heart of the community. All Shook Up will be performed at Beaufort High School, located at 84 Sea Island Parkway on Lady%u2019s Island. Performances are scheduled for June 26, June 27, and July 3 at 7:30 p.m., with matinee performances on June 28, July 4, and July 5 at 1 p.m. All tickets are $45, and all seats are reserved.
