The Stephen Sondheim Center for the Performing Arts (SSCPA) is a theater located within the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center of Fairfield, Iowa.
History
The center opened in December 2007 and was named after theater playwright Stephen Sondheim who has given his approval for the use of his name.
The theater enlisted Broadway performers who had been original cast members of Stephen Sondheim musicals to perform in its premiere production, A Little Sondheim Music. Sondheim granted the center grand rights to all of his works. The Encore Players touring company and an 18-piece orchestra joined the all star cast for the inaugural production. In January 2008, Sondheim Center produced A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and in Feb. 2008, a new work called "Edges". They closed their spring season with a new vision of Godspell.
After the opening of the SSCPA, additional Stephen Sondheim theaters were opened in London's West End and in New York City.
