For every stage
in a woman’s life.

Salina Women’s Clinic provides
comprehensive and highly
specialized health care at every
age and every stage of a woman’s
life—in a comfortable, personalized,
family-oriented atmosphere.

To welcome your newborn into
the world, our prenatal and
delivery teams are ready with the
latest technology, including 4D
sonograms that give you a clear
picture of your baby. For their
prenatal visits and delivery, the
great majority of our patients see
their own doctor—not someone
they’ve just met.

check-ups to minimally invasive
hysterectomy surgery, Salina
Women’s Clinic is committed
to doing everything possible to
provide the highest level of clinical
care and personal comfort.

Vickee Spicer (Hertha Ayrton) is appearing in her 2nd Lauren
Gunderson play, after her national-award-winning performance
as Williamina Fleming in Silent Sky. Other play credits include
Steel Magnolias (Ouiser), Calendar Girls (Chris), Other Desert
Cities (Polly), and Dixie Swim Club (Dinah). Vickee is the
Executive Director for the new Prairieland Market, that is
becoming a non-profit organization and will be moving to
Santa Fe in 2022. Vickee is grateful to be surrounded by her
family: Michael, Maggie & Justin, Tristan, Winston, & Ellie.
“God, I do love a full house. Too much going on is just about
right for me!”

Elizabeth-Ali Schade (Marie Curie) was last seen as Tzeitel in
Fiddler on the Roof, as Aggie Wheeler in The Game’s Afoot,
and as Mary Debenham in Murder on the Orient Express at
SCT. She is the Production Associate for SCT and teaches
Advanced Musical Theatre Acting for CTA. Ali and her husband,
Erich, are blessed with their three-year-old son, Oliver. She
would like to thank everyone for coming and to give special
thanks to Megs & Mags, “I am incredibly thankful for the
courage you inspire in me through the strong examples you
set as professionals, athletes, teachers, students, and most
importantly, as empowered women.”

Tips for a Superb Theatre Experience

f r o m Y o u r B o x O f f i c e Ma n ag e r
Prior to the Performance
1. Purchase your tickets a week or more in advance for best choice of

performance date and seating. We often sell out, so tickets at the door may
be limited or not available.
2. Arrive 15-30 minutes ahead of curtain time to avoid the rush and for better
parking availability.
3. Use one of our conveniently located bathrooms in either the lobby or inside
the Kephart Theatre.
4. Purchase a snack or drink from our concessions area, located in the lobby.
The bar and concession stand are also open during intermission.
5. Turn your smart watch to “Theatre Mode”.
6. Read through and explore your Playbill to discover:

the actors, crew, and orchestra members involved in the production

•musical numbers and setting(s) of the production
••auditions for Salina Community Theatre and Center for Theatre Arts
•••upcoming productions

SCT Guild information
what’s coming up next at SCT and CTA
all our many invaluable supporters
7. As some of our patrons arrive late, please stay in your assigned seat at least
until intermission. If your current seat is unsatisfactory, please visit the box
office for help.
During the Performance
8. Video recording or taking pictures during any SCT or CTA performance is
strictly prohibited.
9. Please refrain from using your phone or any other electronic devices in any
way during the performance. This distracts other patrons, as well as the
performers on stage.
10. Stage lights are usually sufficient to refer to the Playbill. If you must use your
phone for illumination, do so during applause or at a scene break.
11. If you need to leave the theatre for any reason, please do so during applause
or at a scene break, unless it is an emergency. When returning to your seat,
please wait for applause or a scene break.
12.SCT welcomes children ages 5 and up (ages 3 and up for designated
performances and CTA productions). We understand children become restless
or upset at times. The SCT lobby is a quiet place to take your child when such
an instance arises.

If there’s anything we can do to make your experience more enjoyable, please
drop by the Box Office and let us know.
