Each summer, dozens of singers, dancers, technicians, managers, and creators gather on the campus of Valdosta State University for approximately 10 weeks, and during that time, they rehearse, build, and present three musicals in rotating repertory.

Peach State Summer Theatre started in 1990 as the Jekyll Island Musical Theatre Festival. In 2005, the summer theatre program relocated to the campus of VSU and was renamed PSST. Hank Rion serves as the artistic director of Peach State Summer Theatre. H. Duke Guthrie is the managing director.

The Georgia Legislature designated Peach State Summer Theatre the Official Musical Theatre of the State of Georgia.
