Dear Friends of Saint Vincent Summer Theatre,
After the successful return of last year's season, we are excited to announce that SVST will be producing 3 laugh-out-loud productions this summer! Those details will be coming shortly, so please stand by...
Thank you for your patience and support as we prepare to bring you the best quality productions as possible.
Many theaters and theater organizations nationwide have not survived the economic impact that this pandemic has caused, so we are doing everything we can to make sure we remain stable and safe. We are so very grateful for our loyal patrons. Many of you have made gifts in support of the Saint Vincent Summer Theatre program and we ask that you please give, or give again now, to help us prepare for a safe reopening with entertaining performances in our upcoming season. We can't survive without your support, and we greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for being a patron of the arts and for supporting Saint Vincent Summer Theatre. Intermission is finally over and the shows are back!

The popularity and wide range of dramatic activities over the years have been evident in Saint Vincent Preparatory School Dramatic productions, the annual Passion Play, operettas with Saint Xavier’s Academy, college plays such as A Man for All Seasons, audience-pleasing student musicals beginning with West Side Story and student drama organizations.
In 1969 the curtain rose for the first time on a unique dramatic adventure; the Saint Vincent Summer Theatre, founded by a Benedictine monk, Father Tom Devereux, O.S.B. The theatre has endured for more than forty-five years and has offered scores of college students the unique opportunity to work with theatre professionals in all aspects of the theater. Thousands of lives have been enhanced by Saint Vincent Theatre’s positive impact on the artistic life of the college and surrounding community.
“Father Tom was the courageous one who placed it all on the line and made it work…so that we who began with him could have what we took away from the place…large portions of who we are and what our purpose in life is. He did it. Tom did. He made us understand that we SERVED the people and he was our model when he parked cars and passed out beer and hot dogs. He made us aware of how special a gift we had all been given, and he demonstrated how to use it humbly. Nothing…nothing can ever duplicate what he did; but a spirit of community and hospitality at the theatre can certainly continue it. I pray that the special nature of the place can be retained… It was special; it remains special; and I pray that it will always be special.” — John Carosella, Co-Founder Saint Vincent Summer Theatre
“The Saint Vincent Summer Theatre company is an all-star cast of some of New York’s and Pittsburgh’s greatest professional stage performers. Director Greggory Brandt has done excellent work making it a must-see for theatre fans.” – Broadwayworld.com
