| "With one of the finest theatres in the state, an incredible acting/director teacher, and a technical director/designer that can't be beat, SFCC has put together an unbeatable theatre program. If a student of mine wants a smaller theatre program where they are sure to be cast often and well, I always recommend SFCC. I've been teaching theatre for nearly 30 years, and for the cost, this is, hands down, the best theatre program in Missouri." - Michael Beahm, Theatre Director, Raymore-Peculiar High School |
