Did you know that the Saugatuck Center for the Arts is a professional producing theater? What does that mean exactly?

Our in-house Artistic Director Kurt Stamm hand selects each one of our cast out of thousands of applicants from around the country. Because we are an Equity theater, we have the opportunity to hire professional actors from the union based in New York, Chicago, LA and more! Kurt and his team then design a set, choreography, sound, light, and full experience from the ground up – meaning you’ll get a one-of-a-kind, Broadway-caliber, professional performance right here in Saugatuck.
