"Theatre kids ALWAYS WIN" - Gordon State College theatre student, Summer McCusker, May 2026.

Summer returned a couple of years ago, presenting a Voice Acting Workshop in our Fine Arts Building. She was thrilled to be amongst fellow Highlanders - and she inspired our students with energy and hope. Summer was and is; persistent, talented, courageous, positive, quirky and outrageous. Typical Highlander.

This week Summer attended the LA opening for her feature film, I LOVE BOOSTERS.

In this post, we have some photos of Summer when she was on our stage, many years ago - and more recent photos, too. We honor the work of our THEATRE HIGHLANDERS!

A NEW TRADITION during GSC ALUMNI WEEK 2026: Many thanks to the wonderful current and past students who attended Pride and Prejudice during Alumni Week. It's a longstanding tradition for alumni to attend the theatre's Spring production. What a beautiful day that was, on April 12, 2026 as the school specifically invited our Humanities alums. We are excited to begin and continue this tradition in the theatre program.
