Because of your generosity, we met our $20,000 Phase I goal—and we are so grateful. Every gift, share, and show of support got us here, and this milestone is just the beginning. Now, we’re going all the way to $50K by August 31, and we need your help to get there. Your support today will help cover rent, licensing fees, and production costs while keeping our programs affordable for families across our region. Let’s keep the momentum going and set the stage for Season 12—together.
Because there’s no community theatre without the community.

Staging a Bright Future
Celebrating Excellence:
Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC)
At Saltwater, we are beyond thrilled to share the incredible recognition we received at the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC). This prestigious event brings together the brightest minds and most talented performers from across the region, and we couldn’t be more proud to have represented our community with such honor. We are excited to announce the following accolades:
Our SETC Awards: Best Musical Direction, Best Choreographed Performance, Best Costume Design, All-Star Cast Award: Ella Arens (Mrs. Wormwood), Jayson McLaughlin (Ms. Trunchbull)
Thank You for Your Support!
These accolades are a testament to the incredible talent, dedication, and passion that goes into every show at Saltwater. While we take a moment to bask in these well-deserved awards, we’re already hard at work on our upcoming productions. These awards - and productions - wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of our amazing audience, our talented cast and crew, and our dedicated community. We are grateful to each and every one of you for helping make these successes a reality. We can’t wait to continue this journey with you and are looking forward to Season 12 that kicks-off this fall.
