What is SCOOPS? SCOOPS (Stage Center’s Organization of Production Support) is a support organization for Stage Center. 

Is SCOOPS exclusively a parent organization? No, anyone that wants to support Stage Center is welcome to join SCOOPS

What all is SCOOPS responsible for? I’m glad you asked… Fundraising, Ushering and Concessions for all shows, Support for MainStage and SOPA shows, Storage and Belongings, SOPA Community Development, and much more! I’ll explain more about this as we chat! 

What are the benefits of joining SCOOPS? Other than getting to work with some really cool people?! You will find community and opportunities to help with shows, but you also get a few extra perks. We offer a special Sneak Peak to our SCOOPS members for SOPA shows on Final Dress night, we are now going to be opening ticket sales to SCOOPS members a week earlier than the public, and you will now have early access to enrollment for classes and shows.
