Roving Theater DVDs
The DVD of "Diamonds and Coal" is ready for you to pick up.
The 2009-11 Roving Theater productions were videotaped by professional videographer Allen Williams, from Lopez.
To order copies ($20), send a check or money order to SCCA, PO Box 243, Dushore, PA, 18614.
For information, e-mail or call (570) 928-8927.
The DVD of the 2008 production, "Floating Past Hilll's Grove," is also available ($15).

"Hills and Valleys"

The first issue of our high school-based literary magazine, "Hills and Valleys." can be downloaded here, as a pdf.

We hope to make this a continuing, annual publication, with prizes awarded to high school-level students at Sullivan County High School, home schoolers, and students at the Red Rock Job Corps Center.

Along with the written entries selected by our judges, the magazine also includes winning visual-arts entries in our spring Youth Art Awards.

We have two special thanks:

First, to Kelsey Leljedal for her inspired design of the magazine (which took long hours of work), second, to Chesapeake energy, who donated funding to increase the prizes for student writing.

Read the winning authors. But also, read everyone else. These kids are dynamite.

Welcome to the Sullivan County Council on the Arts

Happy New Year
Looking Forward to New
Local Arts in 2012

 

The Sullivan County Council on the Arts (SCCA) is an umbrella organization working to foster and preserve the artistic and cultural lives of the residents of Sullivan County, a rural community of small towns, hemlock forests and serenity in the heart of the Endless Mountains.

Check out our activities page to see what we're up to. And our members page to help support the arts in Sullivan County.

We have set up an Archives page which holds links to all our theater scripts, past calendar listings and, over time, various writeups that expand on what we plan, and what we have in mind. Please visit it here.

Looking Ahead


Artisans sale a success
The fifth annual Artisans Holiday Sale at St. Basil's Hall was a roaring good time and gave a fine return to the 15 vendors who sold gift items. Barb Murrary, Linda Raub and a group of youngsters provided live holiday music, an extensive Chinese auction distributed all sorts of odd items, along with lovely crafts provided by the vendors and Mary Ellen Minnier's Santa Construction Group. Connie Hatch's kitchen staff ladled endless bowls of soup, elves Leona Hatch and Olivia Magann handed out candy canes, and the indefatiguable Colleen Engler showed up from somewhere to haul numerous objects larger than herself.

Thanks to everyone who came, everyone who helped and to the vendors who both gave and got.
 
 
Volunteers needed
The SCCA has a tentative offer of gallery space that would require volunteers to oversee the room, in Forksville, on weekends during the warmer months. Would you be willing to spend one day a month in a lovely, relaxing space, surrounded by inspiring visual art? You would supervise the occasional sale, but mostly be available to chap with visitors who drift down from the Forksville General Store.

If interested, please contact us at the phone number or email below.
 
 
"At the Forks"
The 2012 Roving Historical Theater play will cover the history of Forksville using the timely perspective of the recurrent floods that have done so much to shape Sullivan County. Scenes will include the establishment of the Rogers' woolen mill, the Sullivan County Fair and the Rural Electric Coop. There will also be a reenactment of a radio broadcast of Red Grange's most dynamic college football performance.

We need actors, stage hands and, in advance of production, people who would listen to oral history CDs and make notes on the details. Again, please contact us at the phone number or email below.
 
*  A pair of bifocals were discovered after the Artisans Sale at St. BAsil's Hall on Dec. 10. If they're yours or you know who they belong to, please contact Chris Morgan at 928-8202.


New brochure out
Kelsey Leljedal , our PR queen, designed the 2012 SCCA brochure, which is jaunty and user-friendly. Re-read the top part to view to view it for yourself!
