Celebrate 42 Seasons of Summer Theatre as a Season Sponsor!
Shenandoah Summer Music Theatre (SSMT) has filled the Shenandoah Valley with music, laughter and memories that unite generations since 1984. SSMT’s season features three beloved musicals which include a total of 44 performances; three Behind The Curtain events; and one relaxed performance of our most family-friendly show — attracting more than 22,000 audience members each year.
