At that point, the name was changed to more accurately reflect the center's broad community involvement and many-faceted programs. Today, audiences come regularly from a five-county area and frequently from many parts of New York State and out of state as well to view the center's outstanding performances. In addition to theater, work with youth and formal theater and allied arts instruction, Salt City engages in a broad program of human services. Thousands of tickets are given away each year to senior citizens, the disabled, low-income persons, patients of nursing homes and hospitals, clients of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, schools, agencies, and churches are offered monitored volunteer opportunities and training, often onstage and backstage. A professional staff, managerial and artistic, directs the affairs of the center.
Performers range from longtime professionals to newcomers.
