Project Description
With support from California Arts Council, Pear Theatre will be able to continuously cover employee salaries as we return to having fully produced plays in our theater, starting in the fall of 2021. This will maintain our ability to pay our employees, continue hiring artists, and support our recovery.
Organization Summary
The Pear was founded in 2002 by Diane Tasca and a group of dedicated theatre artists. We have always been a small theatre with a HUGE heart. Since inception, the Pear has offered audiences a broad mix of productions, which our audiences have loved:
* Classics including works by Shakespeare, Congreve, Ibsen, Chekhov,
Synge, Wilde, and Shaw
* Acclaimed modern plays by authors such as O’Neill, Miller, Williams,
Coward, Hansberry, and Wilder
* Challenging contemporary works by playwrights like Nottage, Kushner,
Stoppard, Ruhl and Zimmerman
* New works by local writers–full-length plays and 10-minute Pear Slices
