SSA lost it's lease and while the curtain has closed on the 35 year history of theatrical productions at the Globe Playhouse, exciting new opportunities abound. Inspired by none other than Shakespeare himself, "All the World's a Stage", SSA embraces the opportunity to make the world our stage and take this opportunity to expand our outreach utilizing technology and implementing mobile programs.

The SSA Board of Directors is doing everything possible to avoid liquidation of any portion of the SSA Collection to fund relocation expense and transition costs. Loss of the lease on the SSA Globe Playhouse resulted in temporary elimination of funding revenues. We need your help today!
