Welcome to HCST!

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. ​

Announcing our 2019 Show!

HCST's 45th Anniversary
The Story:
Conditions at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory are anything but peaceful as sparks fly between new superintendent, Sid Sorokin, and Babe Williams, leader of the union grievance committee. Their stormy relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a 7 ½ cent pay increase, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor, but a battle of the sexes as well.

2018 Summer Recap
Howard County Summer Theatre staged a highly successful Annie last summer. We would like to thank everyone who worked on this show in any capacity, from the designers, to the tech crew, to the performers, to the orchestra, to the directors, for all their tireless hours that contributed to the success of the show.

As a result of this team effort and the supportive audience that came to enjoy the show, HCST was able to donate $2,500 to Prepare for Success and $2,000 to the Howard County Police to be used in their community service and youth programs.

​Prepare for Success provides school supplies and backpacks to needy Howard County students.
