SCOT Summer Season 2013

“As you wish”

The SCOT Summer Season 2013 will take place in a completely new style, with all performances

open to the public and no set entrance fee. We ask instead that you to become a member of

the “SCOT Club”—a group that supports our endeavors in Toga—and pay what you can, or

“as you wish.”

In addition to the new format, this year we are dedicating all of our performances to the

memory of Ikuko Saito, Founding Member and Executive Director of SCOT, who passed away

last fall. We are also pleased to announce the opening of the latest addition to the Toga Arts

Park, the Toga Dai-Sanbo. This expansive new venue will allow us to present large-scale works

to our public indoors. We hope you can join us this year to celebrate SCOT and the

ever-innovative spirit of Toga.
