The Peninsula’s oldest theatre company,
Palo Alto Players has been continuously producing quality live
theatre in Palo Alto since 1931. Based at the Lucie Stern Theater,
built for us in 1933, Palo Alto Players produces a season of
comedies, dramas, classics and musicals from September to June.
Audiences and participants come from all over the Bay Area to
be a part of Palo Alto Players productions.
Community
theatre productions are the result of hundreds of hours of volunteer
effort. There are many areas available to participants of all age
levels. Volunteers are involved in constructing, painting and decorating
sets, constructing costumes and props, running the show as stage
crew and performing for the audience as actors. Patrons are assisted
by volunteers working in marketing, the box office and ushering
for each performance. There is no part of a Palo Alto Players production
untouched by valued, irreplaceable volunteers.
Palo
Alto Players Mission Statement

Alto Players is committed to providing meaningful theatre experience
for both audience and production participants. Intrinsic in this

the quality of life of those who are touched by it through education,
enlightenment and enrichment. In support of this mission, we are
committed to:
1) Diversity in programming;
2) Accessibility to all those interested; and
3) Support of theatrical training and career development.
