• Schedule: Camp runs July 6–10, with auditions for ages 7–13 on July 31 and August 1
South Valley Civic Theatre has been a fixture in the South Valley community for over 50 years. It is a non-profit 501(c)3 community theater organization directed and staffed entirely by volunteers and draws on musicians and non-professional actors from as far away as the North Bay and Hollister. The organization provides free and equal access theater opportunities to South Bay youth and offers one of the few participation fee free children’s programs in the Bay Area. Of the five shows presented each year at the Morgan Hill Community Playhouse, there is always a children’s show, a teen show, and at least one other show with multiple roles for young people. Its mission is to entertain, enlighten, engage, and inspire through the magic of live theater.
The leadership team includes President Tressa Bender, Secretary and Limelight Theater Managing Director Emily Shem-Tov, Treasurer Jennifer Eichholtz, Past President and Limelight Theater Executive Director Peter Mandel, VP Box Office Marilyn Pifer, VP Publicity Elizabeth Mandel, VP Membership Billy Tindall, and General Board members Maria Aitken, Katherine Ares, Ron Bowman, Amanda Fitzgerald, Lori Foster, Jenn Oliphant, Reggie Reynolds, and Giacomo Vaccaro.
