This literate and lively play follows the demise and resurrection of the once-prosperous Pyncheon clan.

More than a century later, a young woman arrives to find the last of the family, and the mysterious House of the Seven Gables, beset by dark secrets and untimely deaths. Audiences will shiver, shriek and finally cheer as greed and corruption give way to goodness, loyalty and romance. If you're looking for the perfect blend of history, humor and haunting, step inside the House of the Seven Gables.

Santiam Christian School Theater 

Santiam Christian Theatre (SCT) aims to challenge, inspire, and cultivate young artists through the gift of performance arts. Junior high and high school students can be involved in up to three plays each year, which includes the Jr. Players production lead by upperclassmen, and the first and second-semester high school plays (for HS students only). Performances take place at our black box theatre on campus and via live stream on our hybrid performance night. 

After being cast, students can develop their acting and teamwork skills at in-class rehearsals if cast into the high school play (known as HS Drama) and in after-school rehearsals if cast into Jr. Payers. Students can also explore areas outside of acting, such as stage crew, tech crew, costumes, hair, and makeup, and more. By participating in SC Theatre, students can develop their performance skills while also evaluating dramatic texts, accesses other local theatre opportunities and events, and growing as team players, artists, and God-glorifying leaders, and glorify God in their efforts.
