It is NOT our birthday, so of course it’s time to celebrate the only way that’s appropriate.. with a very merry unbirthday party! For some forgotten reason, foul forces prevented us from throwing a true celebration of our 90th birthday last year… so we’re going to celebrate it this spring! Our deviously delightful friend the Mad Hatter cordially invites you to join him for a spot of afternoon tea. Dress to impress in your own Wonderland-inspired attire and enjoy delightfully whimsical conversations with members of the PAP family and your fellow fans, eat off the wall foods and drinks, and enjoy entertainment that will tickle you with delight. 

For 7 years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School & conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs…who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.

Based on the hit film, this hilarious, New York Times Critics Pick musical follows Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star posing as a substitute teacher who turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.

Singing teapots and candlesticks, an evil spell, and an unlikely love story are all part of the magic. The whole family will be enchanted by this gorgeous production, featuring stunning costumes and sets, spectacular dance numbers, and, of course, a fairy-tale ending.

Broadway & London’s award-winning smash comedy that answers the question “What would happen if Sherlock Holmes & Monty Python had an illegitimate Broadway baby?” Called “the funniest play Broadway has ever seen” (HuffPost), this classic murder mystery is chock-full of mishaps and madcap mania.

Vibrant sets and costumes. Eclectic music by today’s top artists. An erupting underwater volcano. An ever-optimistic walking, talking, singing and dancing yellow sea sponge. It’s a blow out in Bikini Bottom, and everyone’s invited!

We’re going live on Facebook and YouTube to unveil Palo Alto Players’ 92nd season. Join Palo Alto Players’ Artistic and Managing Directors Sunday 3/27 at 6pm!
