PRINCETON SUMMER THEATER?

Princeton Summer Theater is the Princeton community's premiere summer repertory theater company. Located on the Princeton University campus in the historic Hamilton Murray Theater, PST has been bringing exceptional live theater to audiences of all ages at affordable prices since 1968.

Each year, the Princeton Summer Theater season includes four mainstage productions featuring its company of young professionals. Two children's shows and a series of Young Artist Workshops engage families and students from the community. This year Princeton Summer Theater hosted a Young Playwright's Contest, with winners seeing their plays produced on the Hamilton Murray Stage.

After a successful and critically acclaimed 2009 season, Princeton Summer Theater looks forward to next summer. For those hoping to involve themselves in our 2010 season, information about employment, internships, and donations can be found on this website throughout the year.
