Making Theatre Possible

Honorary Producers are the essential supporters who bring our productions to life. Their generosity, paired with the artists’ talent, ensures the world-class theatre for which SCR is known.  Apriem Advisors proudly serves as the 2025/26 Season Producer for all productions, and Talya Nevo-Hacohen and Bill Schenker mark their fifth time as SCR Honorary Producers.

Apriem has also supported five Theatre for Young Audiences productions, most recently The Incredible Book Eating Boy. Co-Founder Harmon Kong and his wife, Lea—an SCR Board Trustee since 2019—are passionate advocates for the arts, and together they served as Chairs of this past fall’s reimagined Gala, PEEK! Their generosity and leadership have helped SCR thrive both on its stages and throughout the community.
