Skyline Creek Productions was founded in 2010 by brothers Vincent and Anthony Segretario as an outlet for bringing ambitious, larger-than-life entertainment concepts to the Southern Illinois community. The company’s first endeavor was a longtime bucket-list project for the brothers: a fully immersive live haunted attraction. “The Nightmare Factory” debuted that fall as a one-time event, but its success laid the foundation for what would become a longstanding production company dedicated to live entertainment, theatrical experiences, and unforgettable events.

Just two years later, in 2012, Skyline Creek Productions embarked on the project that would ultimately define the company. At only 18 years of age, Vincent assembled a team of local theater creatives and performers to mount a live production of Richard O’Brien’s “The Rocky Horror Show” on the stage of the Marion Cultural and Civic Center — one of the region’s premier venues and a longtime hub for live entertainment in Southern Illinois.

The production quickly became a phenomenon within the local community. What began as an ambitious theatrical experiment evolved into an annual tradition, returning to the stage year after year and developing a devoted audience of fans. “The Rocky Horror Show” has since become Skyline Creek Productions’ flagship production and one of its most recognizable annual events. In 2026, the company will celebrate the show’s 14th consecutive year in production, cementing its place as one of the region’s longest-running annual theatrical traditions.

While Rocky Horror remains at the heart of Skyline Creek’s identity, the company’s theatrical repertoire has continued to expand considerably over the years. Skyline Creek Productions has independently produced a wide variety of acclaimed musical and theatrical productions, ranging from beloved family favorites to ambitious large-scale musicals. Productions have included Disney’s “Frozen: The Broadway Musical,” “The Sound of Music,” “Into the Woods,” “Little Shop of Horrors,” “Les Misérables,” and “Anything Goes,” among others.

Across these productions, Skyline Creek has built a reputation for bringing professional-level ambition, production value, and creative energy to the Southern Illinois stage. The company’s work brings together performers, musicians, designers, technicians, directors, and theater enthusiasts from throughout the region, creating opportunities for local talent while delivering polished entertainment experiences for audiences.

In 2020, Skyline Creek Productions expanded beyond theater and began presenting live music and touring artists, further broadening its role as a regional entertainment promoter. Since then, the company has proudly presented a diverse lineup of national touring acts and tribute artists at the Marion Cultural and Civic Center, including Ace Frehley, Sebastian Bach, Ying Yang Twins, Lover: The Unofficial Eras Tour, Last in Line, and Mr. Speed, among others.

Today, Skyline Creek Productions continues to operate at the intersection of theater, live music, and event production, with a mission to bring ambitious, high-quality entertainment to audiences throughout Southern Illinois and beyond. What began in 2010 with a single hobby attraction has grown into a multifaceted live entertainment company with more than a decade of producing, promoting, and creating memorable experiences for the community.

From theatrical classics and blockbuster musicals to legendary rock artists and immersive live events, Skyline Creek Productions continues to push the boundaries of what audiences can experience on a local stage, while remaining rooted in the community that made it all possible.
