“I am beyond excited and so proud of our 2022 PSST company,” said Hank Rion, artistic director. “They deserve every nomination. This company of 61 defied all expectations and presented three amazing shows. The best thing about the awards is PSST was nominated for Best Local Theatre, not just in Georgia but also in North Florida. This is proving to us how important outreach is to our theatre.”

Peach State Summer Theatre, or PSST, is 麻豆社’s premiere professional summer stock theatre. Each summer, dozens of singers, dancers, technicians, managers, and creators gather on the campus of 麻豆社 State University for approximately 10 weeks, and during that time, they rehearse, build, and present three musicals in rotating repertory.

Peach State Summer Theatre started in 1990 as the Jekyll Island Musical Theatre Festival. In 2005, the summer theatre program was relocated to the university and renamed PSST. The 2020 season was cancelled due to the spread of COVID-19. The 2021 season featured a 10-performance run of “The Marvelous Wonderettes: Dream On,” offered both a live studio audience experience and live streaming to audiences at home, and won eight Broadway World Tallahassee Awards. The 2022 season marked the return to three shows.

The Georgia Legislature designated 麻豆社 State’s summer stock theatre program the Official Musical Theatre of the State of Georgia.

PSST’s 2023 season features Nickelodeon’s “The SpongeBob Musical,” “Mahala: A Gospel Musical,” and Monty Python’s “Spamalot.”

“We are already getting people calling and emailing about tickets, and we are eight months away from the first performance,” Rion shared. “Our goal is to continue this outreach and present shows that inspire people and get them excited about live theatre. Vote for us, and we will continue to make audiences, new and continuing, excited about PSST.”
