Coordinates: 43°11′02″N 95°50′06″W / 43.184°N 95.835°W Begun in 1972 by Jay Shelp, Sheldon High School Summer Theatre is the only high school repertory company in the state of Iowa and one of only a few in the nation. The program is notable because it is the only such program that occurs at a non-performing arts high school. SHSST presents six full-length shows over the course of six weeks during June and July. Students are responsible for all aspects of production, ranging from marketing to set-building to acting. The program is mainly staffed by SHSST alumni. Mrs. Lissa Lane Johnson now directs the program.
The production schedule for the 2011 season is the following:
June 9-11, 7 PM: The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomens Guild Dramatic Society's Production of Macbeth
June 16-18, 7 PM: The Dining Room
June 23-25, 7 PM: Arsenic and Old Lace
June 30, July 1, 7 PM; July 2, 2 PM: Robin Hood (Children's Show)
July 7-9, 7M: The 39 Steps
July 14-16, 7 PM: Fame
All performances are at Sheldon High School (Iowa) in Sheldon, Iowa.
