Choosing the shows for each season is a process of research, reading, and community. “A lot of scripts are read, and musicals are listened to,” shared Workman. “Many conversations take place with numerous people including year-round staff, seasonal staff, and board members.” Workman aims to choose shows that work well as a whole for logistics and casting. “It’s very important that Linda and I both support the proposed season, which we give to the Board of Directors, who then discuss and either approve or not,” he said. In addition to the summer season, Black Hills Playhouse produces shows in Sioux Falls for all ages and abilities. “Since 1999, we have toured theater education programs to youth in communities large & small statewide.” Linda Anderson
