SVCT/Limelight At Home

Since we are currently unable to bring the curtain up at Limelight in Gilroy or the Morgan Hill Community Playhouse, we have a wonderful variety of online productions underway for your entertainment! We have transformed our SVCT warehouse into a green screen studio. New lights, cameras, and a green screen background fill the space, enabling us to create new illusions for our loyal patrons. For other online plays, we are filming from our stage at Limelight in Gilroy, creating simple sets as an alternative to using the green screen. And for other productions, where more appropriate,  we are using Zoom and Facebook Live.

.

Our plays have free admission, but the delivery method and availability window for each show is different, depending on our licensing rights for that show. Please review details by show.

.

SVCT and Limelight stages bring hundreds of local people together to create the magic of theater. One of our goals with our online productions is to feature the broad variety of local talent that you know and love. Look for actors, directors, and technical staff that you have seen featured in South Valley productions–from SVCT, Limelight, and Pintello Comedy Theater–over the years..(And while you are watching our show, supporting our local theater, why not make it an occasion, perhaps ordering take-out and also supporting the local restaurants and wineries that are hurting?) Our community is our strength!

Please consider clicking the “Donate” button in order to help SVCT weather the storm while our theater stages are dark. And hopefully we will all soon hear, “Hit the lights. It’s showtime!”.

UPCOMING FREE ONLINE PRODUCTIONS

With Covid-19 restrictions lifting, we plan on returning to live productions, starting with Ripcord at Limelight by SVCT in Gilroy. If you have suggestions for other online productions through the summer we welcome your suggestions…. email us at svct@SVCT.org!
