The week in photos: June 24–29, 2025

Summer Circle Theatre has been a quintessential part of summer at Michigan State University for 63 seasons. Each June, SCT offers free entertaining and family-friendly productions performed and produced by student actors, designers, shop workers and stage managers in the Department of Theatre. In this edition of the Week in Photos, we step on stage and explore the colorful, dramatic and often playful world of Summer Circle Theatre’s 63rd season.
