Princeton Summer Theater is pleased to welcome Luke Soucy and Megan Berry as the company’s new leadership team for the 2017 season.

Minneapolis native Luke Soucy will serve as PST’s Artistic Director, with Megan Berry of Cambridge, MA as Executive Director. Both are theater certificate students in Princeton University’s Class of 2019.

“This fall, we had more applications from Princeton students than ever,” said Geoff Rich, President of the Board of Trustees of PST. “We chose Luke and Megan because they truly understand the ideals of artistic integrity and theatrical community that is PST.  Our subscribers and patrons can look forward to a compelling and entertaining 2017 as we approach our 50th Anniversary.”

Since 1968, Princeton Summer Theater has provided the Mercer County community with high-quality works of theater produced by young artists, and continues to be dedicated to training and fostering the talent of the up-and-coming leaders of the theater world. This summer will mark the company’s 48^th season.

Berry is returning to Princeton Summer Theater, having worked as an associate last season, while Soucy comes to PST following his tenure as director of the ArtSHARE program with Blue Water Theatre Company in Wayzata, MN. Both have recently worked on productions with the Lewis Center for the Arts, and serve on the boards of Princeton Shakespeare Company and Theatre Intime.

Soucy and Berry said of their new positions: “It is an honor and a gift to be chosen. We hope you’ll join us for the upcoming summer as we look forward to collaborating on an exciting, entertaining, and thought-provoking season of theater.”

Preparations are currently underway for PST’s 2017 season. More information regarding specific productions, directors, and ticketing will be announced early this spring. Performances will run from June 22 through August 20.
