Happy 10th Anniversary! 

For a decade, boots on the ground theater has been bringing history, comedy, and drama to life with real “boots on the ground” authenticity right here on the East End at the Southampton Cultural Center—now our home as Theater Company in Residence. 

From colonial time-travel capers to heartfelt classics, we’ve filled the Southampton Cultural Center stage with laughter, tears, and unforgettable stories that make our community feel more connected.

To celebrate 10 amazing years, we’re launching a super-simple, super-fun campaign: $10-for-10!

Donate $10, $20, $50, $100 (or any multiple of 10) and help us keep the curtain rising for another decade of live, local theater magic. Every dollar goes straight to productions, young actors, and keeping great stories alive in the Hamptons.

PS: Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to 10 more years of stepping onto the stage together!

Boomers… Gen X… Millenials…Gen Z “Zoomers”… and the latest: Generation Alpha. Hard to keep up?!

Well we’re here to add one more to the growing list. Next season boots on the ground theater will present a brand new program with a new generation in mind. We’re calling it GEN C “CREATIVE”. Each Spring we’ll present classic lit and YA-themed plays, giving young actors the chance to showcase their talents on the Southampton Cultural Center stage. Students will have the chance to audition and perform, as well as work behind the scenes stage managing and working on the tech crew. Perhaps even direct!

We’ll begin next year with a much loved English children’s story written by Edith Nesbitt and adapted for the stage by Mike Kenny. “THE RAILWAY CHILDREN” has maintained its popularity for over a century and has actually been adapted for the screen six different times, including a television series and feature film. This classic train tale marked the first reference in literature to the time-honored British tradition known as “trainspotting.” Rumor has it the BBC is planning a new version for TV this year.

We’re thrilled to bring “THE RAILWAY CHILDREN” to life at the SCC and to give the young folks in our community the chance to take part. Plus we’ll be joined in the SCC Gallery for a special train exhibit (model trains and all!) by the Railroad Museum of Long Island. You don’t want to miss this. All aboard!

Hope you’ll join us in welcoming GEN C Youth on Stage! Please help support boots on the ground theater at the SCC. 

Many, many thanks to WLNG and Stony Brook Southampton Hospital for their generous sponsorship of boots on the ground theater!
