Shelby County Players had completed the first phase of an ambitious new civic theatre, but much of its lighting and sound equipment had been carried forward from SCP’s former space. Phase one created the place. Phase two would give that place the tools to fulfill its larger purpose.

That next step is now much closer.

Shelby County Players (SCP) has been awarded a $1 million grant through the Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s READI 2.0 Arts & Culture Initiative. The funding will support professional-grade lighting, sound, audio-visual and networking technology for the Wortman Family Civic Theatre’s auditorium and community spaces.

The purpose of this next investment is straightforward: help the new building function as the flexible, multi-use regional venue it was designed to be.

“Someone who is curious about lighting or sound should be able to discover that interest here, and a local organization should be able to hold a high-quality event without leaving the county,” said Justin Stenger, Executive Director of Shelby County Players. “This grant brings those possibilities closer to home. It gives people the opportunity not only to watch what happens onstage, but to learn, create and connect.”
