Howard County Summer Theatre (HCST) is a
non-profit organization founded in 1975 by three county residents with a passion for musical theatre. The purpose of HCST is to produce reasonably priced, family-oriented and high quality musicals each summer in Howard County, Maryland. A portion of the profits from these shows are donated to various charities in central Maryland. ​

2024 Summer Recap

In 2024, we had nothing to lament as luck was a lady and with a lot of hard work, HCST staged Guys and Dolls in June to record breaking audiences. It took 66 actors, 6 stage crew/managers, 1 lightboard operator, a sound crew, 23 instrumentalists, and an additional 6 directors not part of the cast, to entertain 3,300 audience members over seven performances. HCST is happy to announce that we were able to donate a total of $7,500 to our beneficiaries this year.
​Thanks to everyone who was part of this successful run!

​
​Thanks also to the Howard County Arts Council for their support of HCST.
