The COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020 and affected S’n’S productions for a few years. There was no Carnival production during the 2019-2020 season and the 2020-2021 season was done fully remotely.

Facing the challenge with creativity and grit, the 2021 Carnival production of Little Shop of Horrors was produced remotely with a clever combination of green screen, virtual backdrops, live acting, puppetry, and video editing!

Check out this Introduction to Scotch ‘n’ Soda, written by S’n’S alumni in 1970!

Prior to 1989, S’n’S primarily staged one
major show each year at Carnival.

Through the 1970s and 1980s, the organization would add more one-acts, plays, and additional productions throughout the year, before moving to choosing a “season” of theatre each year in the early 90s.
