Connect. Create. Cultivate.
The SCTA Board of Officers developed the following statement for Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility:
South Carolina Theatre Association is a diverse community including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity and national origins, gender and gender identity, sexuality, disability status, class, age, and religious beliefs. SCTA commits to connecting theater practitioners of diverse backgrounds, empowering them to create inclusive art, and cultivating a community that celebrates all voices and lived experiences. We understand that systems that perpetuate systemic privilege and power were not constructed overnight, nor will they be easily dismantled. The above commitments represent only the first step toward anti-oppression practices. This is a living document and will be revisited on a regular basis.

Philip G. Hill
1934-2024
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of our colleague, friend, and founding member of SCTA, Dr. Philip G. Hill, who passed away on Sunday, July 14. Phil Hill was instrumental in the establishment of the SC Theatre Association in 1967, and was the President of the organization in 1970. He was not just a member but a financial steward and historian of the organization for many years. In 2007, SCTA awarded Phil the Lifetime Service Award, and when the SC Theatre Hall of Fame was created in 2016, Phil Hill was part of the inaugural class. We will all miss him more than words can express.
We all have our "Phil stories," and I think that's just the way he liked it. - Maegan Azar
