Welcome to HCST!Howard County Summer Theatre (HCST) is a
non-profit organization founded in 1975 by three county residents, Elise Best, Hazel Philbrick, and Jeanne Grennon, who wanted to provide a summer theatre experience for college students. HCST has grown over the years to now provide a venue for children thru adults who have a passion for theatre. 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!
