FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HISTORIC PEÑA-PECK HOUSE AND LIMELIGHT THEATRE PREMIERE
“A TREASURY OF VOICES”
A Groundbreaking Living History Experience In St. Augustine
St. Augustine, Fla., March 23, 2026 — History will breathe, speak, and walk beside guests this spring as the Historic Peña-Peck House Museum unveils A Treasury of Voices, an immersive, theatrical living-history experience produced by Limelight Theatre.
Presented by The Woman’s Exchange of St. Augustine, A Treasury of Voices transforms the circa-1750 Peña-Peck House into a dynamic stage where professional actors bring centuries of St. Augustine’s past vividly to life. The experience runs Saturdays, March 21 through May 2, 2026, with tours beginning at 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
This is not a traditional museum tour. Guests will journey through Spanish and British colonial eras, encounter compelling figures from St. Augustine’s past, and hear the deeply personal stories of the Peck family and the women who shaped the historic home. Through interactive performances, period costuming, and site-specific storytelling, visitors will experience 276 years of history in a fully immersive way.
Limelight Theatre was commissioned by the Peña-Peck House to conceive, develop, and fully produce the original work. The theatre is responsible for all creative and production elements, including historical research, original script development, casting, costuming, and artistic direction.
“Limelight Theatre is honored to be commissioned by the Peña-Peck House to create A Treasury of Voices,” said Sherrie Provence, executive director of Limelight Theatre. “This partnership gave us the opportunity to build an entirely new work from the ground up—stretching beyond the traditional stage to pioneer a new form of storytelling in our community. From research and writing to casting, costuming, and performance, Limelight is producing every element of this experience, blending theatre, history, and place in a deeply immersive and meaningful way.”
For the Peña-Peck House, the project represents a bold step forward in how historic spaces can engage modern audiences.
“This collaboration allows the Peña-Peck House to interpret history in a powerful and engaging new way,” said Brooke Gast, president of The Woman’s Exchange of St. Augustine. “By partnering with Limelight Theatre, we are able to share the stories of this house and the generations who lived here in a format that is dynamic, educational, and deeply personal. It’s an experience that invites visitors to connect emotionally with St. Augustine’s past.”
Developed exclusively for the Peña-Peck House and its grounds, A Treasury of Voices represents a pioneering cultural experience for St. Augustine — expanding both how history is interpreted and how theatre is experienced.
Tickets are $22 for adults and $12 for children 16 and younger. Advance reservations are encouraged.
