Roberta was active with the group for more than 50 years, doing every imaginable task to help ensure that our productions were ready for opening night. She served multiple terms on the Board of Directors, was a staff member on virtually every production, and produced her last show (Bye Bye [...]

Black Lives Matter

The theatre community, including South Bay Musical Theatre, has come under intense scrutiny for its history of participation in discrimination and racial stereotypes. We are listening. Last month, we paused our 2020/2021 mainstage season and developed new virtual online programming, the SBMT eStudio.

We are engaging with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Persons of Color) directors, leaders, and talent to bring more diverse stories and content to this platform. Information will be forthcoming as we [...]
