Princeton Summer Theater was founded in 1968 by a group of Princeton University undergraduates under the name 'Summer Intime' as a high grade summer stock theater company.[1]

Organizational history

In the 1930s, members of student-run Theater Intime, initiated summer theater at Princeton. From the late 1920s until the 50s students called the summer company the University Players.[2] The University Players operated from Hamilton Murray Theater for years. In 1968, the group became semi-independent from the University under the name "Summer Intime",and in the late 70s it was renamed Princeton Summer Theater. Every summer a new company of Princeton students forms to present a season of four main stage shows and two children's shows.

Dedicated to training future leaders of the theater world, Princeton Summer Theater offers students and young professionals experience working in every area of theatre production, from performance, to design, to marketing, to theater management.[3] In recent years the company has also included members from the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, Rutgers University and Rider University. Notable alumni include John Lithgow, Bebe Neuwirth, William Hootkins, Geoff Rich, Mark Nelson, Winnie Holzman, Bretaigne Windust and Henry Fonda.

Hamilton Murray Theater was dubbed a "jewel box of a theater"[4] by Stuart Duncan of the "Princeton Packet".

Current season

The current 2018 season is the 49th season of Princeton Summer Theater in its current form. This year's season consists of:

  • Tick, Tick... Boom! by Jonathan Larson
  • Uncommon Women and Others by Wendy Wasserstein
  • The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman
  • The Baltimore Waltz by Paula Vogel

The season will also include a production of a new children's play, Greetings from Mars by Annika Bennett.
