After a critically acclaimed co-production of Richard II, Shakespeare returns to The Pear with Henry V. This electrifying, immersive production will transform Shakespeare’s timeless epic into a searing meditation on leadership and morality.

After an insult from the French Dauphin, King Henry V of England invades France to claim the throne he believes should be his. Henry stops an assassination plot, gives powerful speeches, and wins battles against the odds. In the end, he woos and marries the Princess of France, linking the two nations.

Protect The Pear’s future!

Bay Area theatres are hurting. We created a plan to protect the Pear, sustain its life, and help it grow! It’s called The Pear Greenhouse Project.

If we succeed, 25 years from now, a vibrant Pear Theatre will still welcome its incredible patrons!

Pledge a monthly donation of $50 or more for an entire year OR make a single donation of $500 or more! You will see your name displayed in our lobby’s NEW Greenhouse Keeper Vine, as well as being listed in our programs in a NEW category!

This is what we stand for.

The Pear Board of Directors and Staff are pleased to share their new Core Values.

The Pear Theatre was founded in 2002 with a mission to offer theatre that challenges our community to see all aspects of our world fully, with intellectually stimulating, emotionally powerful, and professional productions. Our Seasons include classics, contemporary plays, short plays by local playwrights, and world premiere productions of new works. We are dedicated to engaging diverse voices in our programming and to fostering an inclusive environment in all aspects of our work as artists, staff, volunteers, and audience.
