City Springs Theatre Company

Entertaining Atlanta Metro audiences since 2018. Performances at the Byers Theatre in the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center.

When the City of Sandy Springs began construction of a new performing arts center within its new City Springs downtown development. As those plans took shape, a community survey indicated that Broadway-style musicals were the kind of programming most-desired by area residents. In 2016, a trio of those residents, Jan Collins, Steven Hauser, and Peggy and Jerry Stapleton, floated the idea of creating a new, local company to produce Broadway-quality shows at the new Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center. The company would combine local and national talent, and would strive to produce shows at a level of quality equal to what audiences see in New York and in national touring productions. After a successful fundraising effort, in 2017, 248 founding patrons contributed to support the formation of City Springs Theatre Company (CSTC). The company opened its first production, 42nd Street, at the newly-named Byers Theatre in September of 2018. CSTC would not have become a reality without the generous support of Ken and Trish Byers and the Sandy Springs Arts Foundation.
