Fairfield Summer Theatre began in 1998 as the brainchild of founding members Jim and Pat Davis, Daniel Prior, Mindy Reed and Kathleen Sullivan.
Not wanting to see the new, state-of-the-art Fairfield High School Performing Arts Center sit empty all summer, they elicited the sponsorship of Fairfield City Schools and the City of Fairfield. With the inaugural production of Oliver, Fairfield Summer Theatre was born.
