Announcing Season 24: Hidden Truths!

Join us as we celebrate 24 years of bold, intimate theatre that delights, ignites, and inspires!

Five captivating productions - woven with humor, heart, and a hint of darkness - exploring journeys of discovery, deception, and the quiet pressures that shape our lives.

From reimagined classics to daring contemporary works, each story reveals the tension between who we are, who we pretend to be, and what happens when the truth comes to light.

We’re at a pivotal moment - and our future depends on the continued support and generosity of our community.

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.
