28th
Season of Peach State Summer Theatre
The 2017 Peach State Summer Theatre season will run from June 2 through July 16 on Valdosta State University’s Sawyer Theatre stage and features “Shrek: The Musical,” “Forever Plaid,” and “My Fair Lady.”
Peach State Summer Theatre, or PSST!, is Valdosta’s premiere professional summer
stock theatre. Each summer, dozens of singers, dancers, technicians, managers, and creators gather on the campus of Valdosta State University for 10 weeks, and during that time, they rehearse, build, and present three musicals in rotating repertory.
The 2017 Peach State Summer Theatre
season marks the 28th year of VSU producing professional theatre for the city of Valdosta, the state of Georgia, and beyond. From 1990 to 2004, VSU produced the Jekyll Island Musical Theatre Festival. In 2005, the summer theatre program was relocated to the university and renamed PSST!
The Georgia Legislature designated Valdosta State’s summer stock theatre program the O cial Musical Theatre of the State of Georgia.
VSU’s Jacque Wheeler serves as the artistic director of Peach State Summer Theatre. H. Duke Guthrie is the managing director.
