The Summit Playhouse is one of the oldest continuously operating community theaters in the United States. Founded in 1918 as a World War I relief organization, we’ve staged over 300 productions and continue to thrive as a vibrant hub for local talent and theater lovers.

Each season, we produce three Main Stage plays -- in the fall, winter, and spring. Our Kaleidoscope Youth Theatre adds to the magic with Junior productions in December plus two summer musicals that showcase the talents of young performers.

Our commitment to the community goes beyond the stage. We offer benefit performances for local causes, award scholarships to youth performers, and collaborate with other Summit organizations throughout the year.

The Playhouse is located in downtown Summit, NJ in a charming historic building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's a living piece of local history and a welcoming space for creativity, learning, and live performance.

Come be part of the story—onstage, backstage, or in the audience.
